Sensitivity is the false negative rate. Although it is the opposite of what the doctors want, I would prefer a less sensitive but highly specific test. If I had 80% sensitivity I'd miss out on 20% of cancers, but if I could match that with a 99.9% specificity I'd have very few false positives. I hope this type of test can tune that direction.
