Overdiagnosis - (pronounced) (OH-ver-DY-ug-NOH-sis) Finding cases of cancer with an early detection test (such as a mammogram or PSA test) that never causes symptoms. These cancers can just stop growing or go away on their own. Some of the harms caused by overdiagnosis are anxiety and unnecessary treatments
