Talk:Lead time bias

This article fails to address the point that an early diagonisis can, in fact, extend "real" survival time, since it also implies that treatment is started earlier, which can often extend survival time. The article currently implies that the moment of death is the same regardless of the onset of treatment (itself dependent upon the time of the diagnosis)! 129.67.14.209 (talk) 13:35, 27 July 2014 (UTC)psychologist&statistician[reply]

Swap timelines

[edit]

In the diagram, moving the early-detection timeline to the bottom will prevent its label "Perceived survival time" from being split by the dotted line. Cheers, cmɢʟee ⋅τaʟκ 09:43, 18 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
