Again, personally, I lost both parents to cancer. One thyroid (very slow progression) one pancreatic (very fast). In both cases, I believe that pre-symptomatic detection would have had a high probability of eradicating their cancers. That experience skews my view and if I get the opportunity, I'll have these tests done 3x annually.

But I understand your point. How about making it elective? That way, people who prefer to not endure the risk of false positives or the anxiety of awaiting the test results can opt out.
