To be sure, over-diagnosis is inevitable with good screening tests. The real problem is the over-treatment that follows, owing to the lack of reliable tests to differentiate observable lesions from those that actually require medical intervention.
可以肯定，过度诊断现象在好的筛查试验中不可避免。真正的问题在于随之而来的过度治疗，因为尚没有可靠的试验能将观察到的病变与的确需要治疗的病变区分开来。
