This week we discuss the recent paper "Interpreting the Effectiveness of Cancer Screening From National Population Statistics: Is It Sound Practice?" with its author, Dr. Joaquín Chapa of OHSU. We then revisit the POLO trial with Dr. Emerson Chen of OHSU, who disagrees with last episode's analysis.
