Bishal Gyawali, Medical Oncologist and Professor at Queen’s University, shared a post by Andrew Huberman, Professor and Neuroscientist at Stanford University, on X, adding:
“Anecdotes are not evidence. I can also tell you – from my own experience- how many patients have been harmed because of this. I don’t want you to take my stories as evidence either. Look at the data. Don’t outsource critical thinking.”
Quoting Andrew Huberman:
“The whole body MRI thing is controversial for obvious reasons. It’s costly and there are a lot of false positives. But I have neurosurgeon friends who tell me they do life-saving surgeries ‘every month’ b/c people got full body MRI merely b/c they curious and found operable issues.”
Razelle Kurzrock, Founding Director at Michels Rare Cancers Research Laboratories, also added:
“Omg. I totally agree with Gyawali.”
