Cancer screening is not a one time intervention, it’s a process. The goal is not to detect disease, but to treat such detected disease if needed.

“I’ve often wondered why we routinely put so many patients into hospital gowns within minutes of their arrival. Sometimes referred to as ‘dignity gowns,’ such dignity as they afford is only in comparison to being stark naked.”

Call me old-fashioned, but when I read anything to do with big data and/or AI, I want to apply the 3 tests of good science: - contestability - replicability - applicability Does anyone know of a good (short) critical discussion?
