Certain cancers are more susceptible to false negatives due to their specific characteristics:
1. Lung Cancer: Due to overlapping symptoms with other respiratory conditions, small or early-stage tumors may be missed. 2. Prostate Cancer: PSA tests can produce false negatives if the cancer is not secreting PSA at detectable levels. 3. Breast Cancer: Dense breast tissue can obscure tumors in mammograms, leading to false negatives. 4. Colorectal Cancer: Early-stage tumors or polyps may be too small to be detected by standard screening methods like colonoscopy.
