> Most cancer treatments are really nasty. Thus false positives are really bad I was imagining this cheap self test like covid self tests: you don't start taking chemo, but it's an indication to see a doctor tomorrow if not today and get it checked out properly But you do raise a good point about overtreatment which I had forgotten while writing my previous comment. Whether that applies to diseases that are reliable to confirm manually and will simply kill you if you're late to the party is another matter, but I had forgotten to take it into account at all
