An excellent review about naive overoptimistic views and expectations regarding screening. An eyeopener about the key issues that everyone engaged in discussion about screening should be familiar with. Warmly recommended! cfp.ca/content/69/11/767

Patients and doctors need to understand this: Why screening guideline committees should not include ‘experts’ as voting members healthydebate.ca/2024/02/top… via @HealthyDebate @densebreastscdn

Why screening guideline committees should not include ‘experts’ as voting members - Healthy Debate

Is there a better way to address the Canadian Task Force recommendations? No, experts must remain excluded as voting members.
