So, which is it?

Here is the problem with the mainstream media reporting medical news. Take the recent NEJM article on the fecal DNA test for colon cancer screening. The following are three headlines I browsed via Google News.

1) New Test May Ease Colorectal Cancer Screening: Noninvasive Test May Encourage More Frequent Colorectal Cancer Screening

2) DNA Test for Colon Cancer Disappoints

3) DNA Test for Colon Cancer a Mixed Bag

Is it any wonder why patients are confused?
