Another member of mainstream media takes an evidence-bereft, pro-screening bias. This time, electron beam CTs for coronary artery disease, a AAA screening test for adults age 40 and above (contrast with the USPSTF recommendations), hi-res chest CT for lung cancer, and a PillCam screen for esophageal cancer are the “routine” tests recommended by Dr. Corso.
I’m ashamed to say this is an internist recommending these tests, ignoring the evidence. He’s trying the hawk his book, and as I said before, the evidence doesn’t sell.
