Or your screening might have caused that tumor? X-rays are not harmless and they can cause cancer. Other screenings have their respective complications. Aren't you disturbed by a thought that maybe you wouldn't have any cancer if not for screening? Or you would have a healthy colon if not for the intern who perforated it during colonoscopy?
