I don't mean to sound uncaring, but when doctors make those recommendations about routine screening, they make them primarily with the patient's best interests at heart. Opinions about routine cancer screening seem to be becoming more negative, because they lead to a lot of false positives. There are far more false positives than true positives, and a false positive can mean a lot of anxiety and intrusive procedures for nothing.
