Very well-said! Finally doctors are realizing that not all prostate cancers require a "treatment" - so many men undergo unnecessary surgeries and so many women followed the advices from celebrities to part with their breasts as a "preventive" measure instead of, let's say, drink green tea, eat mushrooms daily, take vitamin D, glucaric acid, and a few other affordable supplements. I highly recommend the book "The Decision Tree" by Thomas Goetz, who's a former editor at Wired magazine.
