Ask Katie Couric -she did a whole series on it after her husband died of colon cancer. There was real resistance to paying for colonoscopies just a few years ago. As for prostate cancer research - the medical literature is full of treatments and diagnostic tests that were eventually proved to be useless or not cost-effective after scientific testing. In fact, medicine has a specific term for it - evidence based medicine.
