There is a lot of debate lately, following the release of the most recent study by Gotzche from the Nordic Cochrane Review in Denmark looking at overdiagnosis in mammography screening programs.
The topic: Systematic review of published trends in incidence of breast cancer before and after the introduction of mammography screening.
Here is the actual study from the British Medical Journal: http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/339/jul09_1/b2587
Following the article are other relevant article details, and some "rapid responses" to the published study. Many of these responses focus on the issue of harm versus benefits of screening.
What do you think?
