While screening has many benefits, it also carries potential risks, such as:
False Positives: Results that suggest cancer when none is present, leading to unnecessary anxiety and additional tests or procedures. False Negatives: Results that miss the presence of cancer, providing a false sense of security. Overdiagnosis: Detecting cancers that may not have caused harm if left undetected, leading to unnecessary treatments. Complications from diagnostic procedures, such as infections or bleeding.
