Screening tests were central to many of the discussions taking place at the Preventing Overdiagnosis conference (preventingoverdiagnosis.net)
To sum up some of the problems with screening we’re joined by Carl Heneghan, director of the Centre for Evidence Based Medicine at the University of Oxford, and John Broderson, associate professor in the Research Unit and Section of General Practice at the University of Copenhagen.
