Nytimes article (2009) states "And the dynamic process of cancer development appears to be the reason that screening for breast cancer or prostate cancer finds huge numbers of early cancers without a corresponding decline in late stage cancers.

If every one of those early cancers were destined to turn into an advanced cancer, then the total number of cancers should be the same after screening is introduced, but the increase in early cancers should be balanced by a decrease in advanced cancers."

I find this astonishing and intriguing.

2009 is really old news in terms of lung cancer and how quickly treatment is changing--I am curious to know if the implication above was ever or is now true of lung cancer. My (oversimplification?) understanding is that lung cancer is so very deadly because it is most typically diagnosed in late stages, and that a better way of identifying it earlier could lengthen and save lives.

Thanks for posting.
