Considering that early diagnosis prompted a tenfold increase in surgery aimed at removing the cancer (the predicted number of surgical interventions was 11; the actual number was 109), and that such surgery is unsafe—5% of patients die and another 20-40%

考虑到早期诊断可使行肿瘤切除术的人数增加十倍(预期为11人,实际达109人),而这种手术风险又大(术后死亡率5%,此外还有20~40%的患者出现严重并发症),如此一来就有可能造成更大危害。
