I think this would only matter if some of the additional detected cancer would have gone away on its own. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's impossible. It's different for e.g. Flu, where more testing = more detection of an illness that would not necessarily have become serious, had it gone undetected.

>detected cancer would have gone away on its own. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that's impossible. What if they detect a slow growing cancer that wouldn't have become a problem before you hit the age of 150? Not every cancer is aggressively trying to eat its host whole.
