How Can Overdiagnosis be Mitigated?

Mitigating overdiagnosis involves several strategies:
- Improved Screening Guidelines: Developing more precise guidelines that distinguish between aggressive and indolent tumors can help reduce overdiagnosis.
- Risk Stratification: Using tools and biomarkers to identify patients at higher risk for aggressive cancers can tailor screening and treatment approaches.
- Patient Education: Informing patients about the risks and benefits of screening can help them make more informed decisions.
