Abstract:
With the help of modern medical technology, various neoplastic and nonneoplastic lesions are getting diagnosed in the subclinical stage.

Quite often, these conditions remain harmless throughout a lifetime. Overzealous management in these settings becomes therefore unnecessary and results in various treatment-related adverse effects.
