You might have cancer.
Just as an example of how you might wrongly tell someone they might have cancer
Just as an example of how you might wrongly tell someone they might have cancer
While it is true that you might have cancer (as you say a decent portion of the population does) but we know the above message is false. I do not have your blood sample, I did not run any tests, the name and description of the test is made up. All of these make the statement wrong. And in everyday vernacular someone might describe the above interaction as "sebzim4500 was wrongly told that he might have cancer."
Even further, cancer screening is not a replacement for cancer diagnosis.
