...logic of early detection seems hard to argue against; after all, the sooner you catch a cancer, the better your chances of nipping it in the bud. That's why for decades doctors have been recommending breast self-examination and annual mammograms for women over 40. But an analysis of several large studies late last year cast doubt on the conventional wisdom, suggesting that the presumed benefits of early detection were based on flawed studies.
