> Many people mistakenly believe that early diagnosis is the final boss in medicine,

True. My more nuanced take on it: For most chronic conditions (including cancer) diagnostics have improved but resolution has not. The PR machine of course hypes things to make it seem like we have more cures today that in the past. What is have is more diagnostics and more procedures.
