While screening has numerous benefits, there are potential risks: 1. False Positives: Indicating a disease when it is not present, leading to unnecessary anxiety and further testing. 2. False Negatives: Missing a condition, resulting in a false sense of security. 3. Overdiagnosis: Detecting conditions that may never cause symptoms or harm, leading to unnecessary treatments. 4. Cost: Financial burden on patients and the healthcare system for unnecessary tests and follow-ups.
