Length time bias is a phenomenon that can occur in the evaluation of medical screening methods or tests, particularly in the context of cancer screening. It occurs when the screening process disproportionately identifies slower-growing, less aggressive forms of a disease compared to more aggressive forms that may present differently. This can give a misleading impression of the effectiveness of the screening program and the overall prognosis of patients whose diseases were detected through screening.
