FYI
Thanks for that excellent article adman, which has made my day - hip, hip, hooray, I say. It's a pity it didn't happen a decade or two sooner, but better late than never.
This kind of taking a pace back to see the bigger picture and then questioning uncritically received assumptions should happen a lot more. If this is followed through it will save huge amounts of resources, in addition to sparing vast numbers of people gratuitous anxiety, unnecessary suffering, disfigurement and consequential loss. I hope this goes forward at something more than the snail's pace these things habitually take in the medical world.

Sometimes, it is not possible to tell which leasions are bad.
The bottom line, though, in the article is, with agressive treatment for "pre-cancers" such as Prostate has not reduced the death rate from the agressive form of prostate cancer.
But, a lot more people were very worried.
