Michael Retsky Quotations

Cancer outgrowth after surgery has been observed for over 100 years, and the mechanisms have not been fully identified.

Young women need to be advised of the risk of accelerated tumor growth and early relapse before giving informed consent for mammography.

We don't have all the answers. We think our work has pointed out that the mammography paradox is real. We are confident we understand what causes it. We have identified a problem -- a mechanism that is testable. We have not found a solution. But identifying the problem is a major step in the right direction.
