According to Dr. Mary McNaughton-Collins, a researcher at
Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, aggressive

and even early death. She says the problem lies in not having the
scientific advances to differentiate between tumors that do not need
to be treated from the aggressive cancer that does.
