MD but not an oncologist. Some of these cases of breast "cancer" would likely resolve on their own if the screening hadn't detected them. We all have "cancer" cells that our body does a pretty good job handling on a routine basis. Many people would die of something else other than their prostate cancer if we didn't screen for it. By no means am I saying that screening isn't valuable, it truly is wonderful. However, at some point screening tests get to the point of being too sensitive and causing more harm than good. "Overdiagnosed" is an interesting read about this topic.
