> It feels a bit like saying you could reduce your chance of toe cancer by amputating your toe. Not disagreeing with your actual point, but we do actually sometimes opt to remove body parts if the cancer risk is high enough, because cancer metastasizes. So in the hypothetical toe-cancer case, you might go from a X0% chance of developing toe cancer with a Y0% chance of it metastasizing to a 0% chance, which might be worth losing a toe over.
