Consumer Reports Tackles Cancer Screening Tests

Wanted to share this ABCNews.com clip because it includes a very positive shout out from Dr. Richard Besser, chief health and medical editor at ABC News, about CR's Ratings of cancer screenings. Here's an excerpt, followed by the entire clip.

"ABC News Chief Health and Medical Editor Dr. Richard Besser said the straightforward and understandable rating system is useful for consumers.

I like the way Consumer Reports uses their typical rating system -- the same symbols you'd see applied to a car or a vacuum cleaner," he said. "This is a system consumers know and are comfortable with. It is so much more user friendly than the materials that doctors usually provide."
