"Overscreening, also called unnecessary screening, is the performance of medical screening without a medical indication to do so. Screening is a medical test in a healthy person who is showing no symptoms of a disease and is intended to detect a disease so that a person may prepare to respond to it. Screening is indicated in people who have some threshold risk for getting a disease, but is not indicated in people who are unlikely to develop a disease. Overscreening is a type of unnecessary health care.(wikipedia)
"
Overscreening ; refers to the use of a screening test at ages younger or older than the range recommended by national guidelines, or at a greater frequency (shorter intervals) than recommended (Ebell M 2015)Bibliographic link
