About This Book

Dr. H. Gilbert Welch examines the clinical and statistical trade-offs of early cancer screening, arguing that testing asymptomatic people can lead to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. The book combines medical data with patient narratives to challenge the assumption that early detection always improves health outcomes.
