by H. Gilbert Welch
In this thought-provoking volume, a physician and public health expert challenges the notion that detecting cancer early always saves lives.
From the rear cover
"I have long been a fan of Dr. Welch's research and his considerable insight into the dilemma of disease screening. I'm profoundly grateful that he has now made this information available to everyone in an easy-to-read, practical book. Should I Be Tested for Cancer? is a must-read for every doctor and patient in this country."--Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom
"I did not think it possible to bring such a dry topic to life, but Dr. Welch has done it. He writes wonderfully well. For anyone interested in cancer screening or preventive medicine, this book is a page-turner. It will be a rare person--layperson or health professional--whose perspective is not changed by reading this provocative book."--Alfred Berg, M.D., M.P.H., Chair of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
"Dr. Welch has performed an invaluable public service. Whatever the successes of the nation's 'war on cancer, ' too many people now believe it's always in their best interest to detect the disease early and rout it, regardless of the costs. This book will inject reason and good sense into an arena of medical decision making often dominated by hype and fear."--Susan Dentzer, Health Correspondent, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer
