Health systems have long-planned population programs for the early detection of certain cancers through diagnostic techniques arising from the clinical setting, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), mammograms, ultrasound or the study of faecal occult blood that is the case at hand. This issue is generating confusion in society because one thing is to take care of one's health and the other, quite different, is to undergo medical tests to discover tumours in their early stages. On the other hand, discomforts are also generated among professionals, because it’s not the same to treat patients who seek help for health problems, than to propose extensive tests to the healthy population.
