So a lot of abnormal breast cancer cells and a lot of abnormal prostate cancer cells don't necessarily progress to be life threatening. And what you can do in those situations is do exactly what you're suggesting, which is monitor them with scans over time to look to see, is this one that's progressing or is it staying the same?

At the moment, because the word cancer is such a frightening one, you know, we feel a bit compelled into action. People need to know that, you know, these cancers are not all equal. A screen cancer is not exactly the same as a symptomatic cancer. And you do have time to think. But to be able to have time to think, you need to understand that these cancers don't all grow.

And you also need to have a good doctor by your side supporting you while you have serial testing to see whether you are one of the lucky ones who has just cells that aren't going to grow or if you're one of the unlucky ones.

I guarantee you, Mike, I would be exactly the same. You know, if I, you know, I do have cancer screening because in the UK it's recommended on a regular basis. I have the standard screening. And if something is found, even with the knowledge that I have now, I would be just as frightened as anybody else. And I would also feel compelled to act.

And I think probably one of the issues there is we're calling all of these things cancers. But that's not necessarily representative of what is being found. So what some people would argue is that we should give these kind of abnormal cells found on screening a different name to cancer.

Because the minute we kind of hear, oh, it's a cancer, well, you just want it out and you'll be subjecting yourself to treatment which could be harmful in itself.

So to solve that problem of fear, because fear compels us into doing things that aren't necessarily the best thing for us, and perhaps to solve the problem of fear, we should give these screened abnormal cells a name that is less frightening than cancer.
