In this week’s podcast, we discuss the problems with early cancer screenings. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, so it makes sense that modern medicine is trying to create ways to detect cancer as early as possible. This is key because the early stages of cancer are easy to treat, however the later stages are more deadly. The difference between early stage and late stage cancer is that late stage has metastasized and spread throughout the body. However, our current techniques used to detect cancer early are severely flawed. Early cancer screening fails in 3 ways:

1. Over treatment/side effects 

2. Data reflects cancer deaths and not all cause mortality

3. Does little to prevent late stage cancers

To hear more about the problems with cancer screenings and how the established medical community misrepresents data to hide their ineffectiveness, listen to this week’s podcast.
