Consequences of the shift from the use of non-invasive testing for diagnosis to screening purposes
Consequences of the shift from the use of non-invasive testing for diagnosis to screening purposesLe texte complet de cet article est disponible en PDF.
Highlights |
• | As the high-throughput screening and sequencing become increasingly faster and affordable, that there will be a swell of commercial non-invasive diagnostic tests for endometriosis in the coming years to fill the void. |
• | Overdiagnosis is common when introducing a novel diagnostic test and overdiagnosis leads to overtreatment that provides, by definition, no benefit at all but that can cause harm and incur expenses. |
• | The shift from the use of non-invasive testing for diagnostic purposes (i.e.use in symptomatic women) to screening purposes (i.e., use in asymptomatic women) is very likely. |
• | In presence of pain symptoms, endometriosis must be promptly suspected and clinically diagnosed regardless of imaging findings and non-invasive diagnostic testing. |
