Does this bother anyone else? I really hope that level of uncertainty doesn't extend to too many other types of cancers...
- MattGaiser 5y ago> this is absolutely, without a doubt The standard in this phrase is also exceedingly high. Even a test with just a 1 in 1000 rate of false positives would not pass. But are you really going to doubt a test that only has a 0.1% chance of being wrong? I want a rate. Are half being misdiagnosed? 20%? 2%?
