"Step 1 is to use a cancer test to find early-stage cancers. Step 2 is to observe that the test does what it is supposed to do: find patients whose cancers are at earlier stages than patients whose cancer was found without the test. Step 3 is to observe that patients whose cancer was found by the test have a higher five-year survival rate. Step 4 is to call for screening using the test. This pattern has recently appeared in the medical literature, with UCLA researchers calling for kidney cancer screening and Cornell researchers calling for lung cancer screening." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.) "Their cancer test is a skin biopsy. In the past, a skin biopsy involved minor surgery. The skin was cleansed, covered with drapes, and injected with an anesthetic; then the doctor would use a scalpel to carefully cut away an ellipse of skin (a shape having a better cosmetic result). The hole would be closed with a few stitches, and the patient would come back a few days later to have them removed. Now a skin biopsy is typically done with a punch—a tool roughly the size of a pencil with a circular blade on the end. The punch takes a little circle of skin about this big: ?" - H.

"I just walked you through eight big studies that have been conducted over the past 40 years: almost half a million women entered in randomized trials of mammography; millions of dollars' worth of research. No cancer test has been more carefully studied. And we still need more research? The truth is, we do. There are other questions we need answers to before we can say how best to screen for breast cancer. THE REAL CONSTRAINTS IN TESTING TESTS Welcome to the real world of cancer detection research. Here are the hard facts. There are a lot of potential questions to ask." - H. Gilbert Welch M.D. M.P.H., Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not and Here's Why (Get the book.) "It's more like climbing K2. No cancer test has ever achieved such a feat. But if you want to make sure you'll be able to detect a smaller effect, you need to study even more people. And the number needed rises exponentially. To see a 25 percent reduction in lung cancer deaths (from 40 to 30 per 1,000), for example, requires over 14,000 subjects; to see a 10 percent reduction in lung cancer deaths (from 40 to 36 per 1,000) requires almost 100,000.21 What if we move to a common cancer that affects smokers and non-smokers alike?" - H.
