That’s why I said “there must be data missing” and I gave an example of a fully screened cancer (colorectal) that still has stage 4 prevalence in Australia. So pardon me if I’m struggling to figure out what cancer this is when the details are sparse.

So since you’re the OP, do you want to share the tumor type that “you rarely see stage 4 in Australia” but is apparently super common at Stanford? Since I work in healthcare I’d be super interested to know.

I will not be bothering the doctor quoted with this sealioning-by-proxy.

Had it not come on the coat-tails of such bad-faith misquoting, cherry-picking, statistical manipulation, misrepresentation et cetera, perhaps I might. Instead I bid you a good day.
