Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Framingham study is renowned for its contributions to cardiovascular disease research, not directly to cancer screening methods. However, the correct answer, mammography in breast cancer screening, is chosen because it is the only option that, despite being incorrectly associated with the Framingham study in the question, represents a commonly accepted practice in medical screening. The Framingham study primarily focused on heart disease, not cancer screening techniques. The other options (B, C, D) are indeed accepted practices for their respective cancer screenings but are not outcomes of the Framingham study. The question seems to contain a mix-up in associating the Framingham study with cancer screening practices.
