A systematic review of mammography screening programs reported an overdiagnosis rate of around 50%, which is the same of saying that a third of diagnosed cases of breast cancer are overdiagnosed. [13] Overdiagnosis has also been identified in chest x-ray screening for lung cancer. [14]

Overdiagnosis is the diagnosis of "disease" that will never cause symptoms or death during a patient's lifetime. [9] It is a problem because it turns people into patients unnecessarily and because it can lead to economic waste [10] (overutilization) and treatments that may cause harm. Overdiagnosis occurs when a disease is diagnosed correctly ...
Health effects of radiation may be grouped in two general categories: stochastic effects, i.e., radiation-induced cancer and heritable effects involving either cancer development in exposed individuals owing to mutation of somatic cells or heritable disease in their offspring owing to mutation of reproductive (germ) cells.

The pregnancy category of a medication is an assessment of the risk of fetal injury due to the pharmaceutical, if it is used as directed by the mother during pregnancy. It does not include any risks conferred by pharmaceutical agents or their metabolites in breast milk .
A biophysical profile (BPP) is a prenatal ultrasound evaluation of fetal well-being involving a scoring system, [1] with the score being termed Manning's score. [2] It is often done when a non-stress test (NST) is non reactive, or for other obstetrical indications.
Lead time bias occurs if testing increases the perceived survival time without affecting the course of the disease. Lead time bias happens when survival time appears longer because diagnosis was done earlier (for instance, by screening), irrespective of whether the patient lived longer.
