Abstract:
Whenever a patient presents for the annual health examination, clinicians must choose from a plethora of screening tests and conflicting sets of guidelines. A discussion of the underlying issues leads to practical tips on how select and when to abandon screening tests and when to treat or not treat patients with marginally positive test results.
