I hate to bring this up and get into this controversy, but Dr. Gordon, I think you suggested that the current task force recommendations on screening were largely based on Dr. Narod's randomized control trial, which I think you've said is flawed.
As I recall, having discussed this with you before, the basis of the flaw was the improper randomization, in that at least some of the nurse practitioners who were involved and doing the randomizing, when they felt a lump in the screening exam, put them in the mammography group. Therefore, yes, at the end, you are going to have more deaths in that group because you have a lot of people in that group who are in there because they had cancer to begin with. That gave a skewed outcome.
Am I right in that this is what you're saying? What evidence do you have that it is, in fact, what happened?
