He said that early detection don't improve survival rates? Sounds to me like you are repeating soundbites out of context.

Of course it sounds this way to you. Because ideologically, you can't accept that preventive treatment doesn't automatically improve outcomes, nor does it save money. It is what I've been trying to tell you for a long time.

=================================

"The Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer
Screening Trial followed more than 76,000 US men for 7 years.1
The intervention group received annual PSA screening, and the
control group received usual care that might include screening.
The study found that prostate cancer was diagnosed in more
men in the intervention group but that mortality rates were not
statistically different between the groups. Thus, annual PSA
screening did not reduce mortality." [edit: But it DID cost money].
