USA Today op-ed: Not all cancer screening tests lead to better treatment

My latest USA Today op-ed was published this morning.

I talk about controversies surrounding prostate and breast cancer screening, and how common sense doesn’t always apply when it comes to early cancer detection.

Enjoy the piece.
