Are we over diagnosing breast cancer?


A recent study has been done that shows that we are over diagnosing the presence of breast cancer. In Norway, the over diagnosis rate is between 18% and 25%. Overdiagnosis is when there is a tumor that is not cancerous. If left alone, nothing would happen. Some people think there is no such thing as a tumor that would not do anything if left alone.
