Cancer Screening Myths

worthwords says...

PSA In particular is not a good screening test.
And prostate unlike most other cancers in that for indolent cancers you can do more harm than good. So not broadly generalisable to all cancers.

newtboy said:

Except it ignored that most early screening does lead to better results because early treatment always works better than later treatment (except in rare cases where no treatment is effective).

True, the statistics can be misleading, but you can use statistics to prove anything....forfty percent of all people know that.;-)

Cancer Screening Myths

worthwords says...

agree, but here the explanation of lead time bias and overdiagnosis bias is reasonably good.
it's important to note that the studies were regrading primary care physicians who should know about screening and bias, but they are not cancer specialist (oncologist).
The male coming to see doctor asking for a PSA test because a celebrity said they should has presented a problem as doctors are afraid of litigation despite poor evidence for random PSA being a useful screening test. I believe the use of PSA as part of a 'medical' is far more common in the USA than Uk.

I would take everything said in this video with a truckload of salt.

NutritionFacts.org are a pseudo-scientific organisation that push the idea that cancer can be cured with a vegan diet.

CNN: Guns In Japan

bobknight33 says...

Pakistan are 95%+ Muslime They follow a higher power..
371 murder cases, 28 cases of gang murder, nine of abduction for ransom, 4 terrorism incidents were registered in 2015,
not quite as violent as America.

Then look at who is doing the shooting?
Lone nuts--- insignificant
Pissed off spouses -- insignificant
Inner city gang bangers -- root cause of American gun violence

Inner cities have excessive gun violence. Why is that?
No jobs?
No respect for life?
No desire to educate oneself to get out of the situation?
No real deterrent for gun use?

Would a strict gun free zone in such high gun use are be an OK solution that carries the strictest punishment for those that commit crimes with guns ( as apposed to guns being used to defend)? Ho about a 1 year of PSA on the local media before it goes into effect? then strictly enforced?


Until you can get people to respect life and or use the strictest punishment -- I think this will continue.

Better mental health links to ATF where friends and worker can nark to the ATF? This also might help send a flag to re investigate and or to investigate even more on the background check.

Longer waiting period to give ATF more time to do more thorough background check.



What would you propose?

newtboy said:

Ok, then compared to Pakistan, a violent society with likely more guns per capita, our rate is more than 4 times the gun deaths per capita.
Now what?

I'm pretty much over trying anything new, but that's about the best deterrent I think I'll ever see; they should use it as a PSA

It's not that confusing. The Canadian police reposted a New Zealand PSA.

I have to say that whoever does these ads in NZ are doing a fantastic job. Almost every single one of them have become memes here.

People still joke about "ghost chips"

I am so confused, because the URL in the video is to the West Van PD in BC. I mean, it says .ca and I followed the link.

The give away though should be that they are driving on the wrong side. No Canadian PSA would ever feature right-hand drive cars.
