Opinion: Stop misleading women on breast screening
By Dr. László Tabár
The article published 5 July by JAMA Oncology about the cost-effectiveness of breast screening is another example of the type of "nonscience" from a leading tabloid journal, writes Dr. László Tabár. Women and decision-makers deserve correct and honest information, and it's time to focus on the harm of not being screened, he notes.

Simulated PET scans verify proton therapy delivery
By Jude Dineley
Researchers have moved closer to the real-time verification of hadron therapy, demonstrating the in vivo accuracy of simulations that predict particle range in the patient. The new Monte Carlo tool is a key component of a system that measures particle range during treatment and compares it with the predictions.

The dilution and demise of human expertise
By Dr. Peter Rinck, PhD
The academic mindset has turned into fast McDonalds-style science, and hard evidence and clear and proven results are ousted by assertions lacking scientific foundations, the Maverinck writes. He fears the ivory tower of yore has been replaced by blathering smartphone science.
