A physician says cancer screening saves lives, but a public-health review finds that a screening program did not reduce overall mortality. Which interpretation best reconciles the claims?
A
Overall mortality counts only deaths from the screened cancer.
B
If a screening test saves any lives, overall mortality must necessarily always fall measurably, as the passage’s central claim.
C
Screening may reduce deaths from a targeted cancer while having little detectable effect on deaths from all causes combined.
D
The physician must mean screening cures every disease.
