Nice seeing our overdetection work used overseas @kirstenmccaffery.bsky.social @wiserhealthcare.bsky.social @sydneyhealthlitlab.bsky.social
OVERDETECTION EXAMPLE: Imagine a woman called Susan who develops a small, slow-growing breast cancer at age 75. The picture shows 2 possible scenarios that could happen to Susan... Susan's life span is the same, whether or not she has mammograms. So if she has mammograms, she experiences overdetection (a diagnosis and treatment she does not need).
