[lbo-talk] Prostate screening bad idea....

[Wojtek S]

[WS:] As I read it, the main objection is a high level of false
positives in testing.  That is not a valid reason for abandoning
testing, but rather for not deciding on treatment based on a single
test alone.  This also pertains to the study itself - it is not a good
idea to abandon potentially preventive measures based on results of a
single study.
