I linked the, peer-reviewed, paper which contains the data that supports my statements on the topic. You've made two conclusory statements and immediately resorted to insulting comments when challenged. There is not a single aggressive pancreatic cancer where a false negative is more dangerous than a false positive. Percutaneous biopsy has a mortality rate of approximately 0.2% even relatively non-malignant pancreatic cancers (say Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm) have 10-year survival rates in adults of around 88% and that number is from cases which received surgical intervention and chemotherapy something that would not happen with a false negative. So even in the worst case, the false negative multiple times more deadly. A false positives' most likely outcome is pancreatitis from the biopsy procedure. permalink fedilink source parent [–] unpossum@sh.itjust.works 16 points 5 months ago (1 child) They selected the pathology that’s the topic of the post to support their on-topic argument.
