Are Certain Cancers More Prone to False Diagnoses?
Yes, some cancers are more prone to false diagnoses due to their nature or the difficulty in detecting them. For example:
- Breast Cancer: Mammograms can sometimes show abnormalities that are not cancer. - Prostate Cancer: PSA tests can yield false positives due to benign conditions. - Lung Cancer: Imaging tests may not easily distinguish between cancerous and non-cancerous nodules.
