Researchers have been working to uncover these kinds of biases in medicine. ... Native American women have the highest rate of ovarian cancer. Black women with ovarian cancer have lower rates of survival compared to white women. Finding ovarian cancer early can lead to better chances of survival.

There are several dubious claims, and perhaps most sadly of all, finding or detecting cancer early does not generally lead to better outcomes or chances of survival. This is where the cure is worse than the disease, statistically speaking.

Consider the sorts of treatments commonly offered, radial surgery, deadly toxic chemotherapy and hazardous radiation.

Most thorough autopsies on deceased individuals of normal lifespans will reveal hidden or latent cancers that were never diagnosed or discovered while the person was alive, and are quite unrelated to the cause of the person’s death.

This suggests that the various forms of “cancer” are much more prevalent or universal conditions than generally acknowledged, and that the drastic modes of treatment typically offered are only appropriate in extreme cases when absolutely necessary to save lives. Otherwise general advice to healthy living with organic foods and regular aerobic exercise is more appropriate for controlling subclinical cancers.
