The patients who had a positive screening would then proceed with a surgical diagnostic procedure by their Physician. The conclusion of the random study was that the ratio of surgeries done, compared to the positive screened patients was high. Also, most of the positive screened cases ended up being late stage cancer. Although this clinical trial correlates with the 2010 USPSTF recommendations against routine ovarian cancer screening, the entire effect of screening to decrease mortality is not yet known. ADVISING PATIENTS USING THE USPSTF Reference "Breast Self Exam."
In the UK, alcohol causes 12,500 cases of cancer, around 4%.I also think this strategy is easy to follow as there’s no need to stop drinking alcohol completely, just less of it. It’s a positive strategy as it helps people save money rather than spend it but there’s also people out there who are alcohol dependant or even get peer pressured into it.
