This infographic really shows the risks of false positives and negatives in skin cancer screening. It’s scary to think that even with high sensitivity and specificity, so many people might get unnecessary biopsies or worse, miss a real diagnosis. The emotional toll of a false cancer result must be overwhelming. I like that it offers clear strategies to reduce errors. It’s a strong reminder that accurate screening isn’t just technical—it’s about real people’s lives and peace of mind.
