Lead-time bias. (A) The usual time of diagnosis and the length of survival after diagnosis. (B) Earlier diagnosis increases observed survival time, but death is not actually delayed. Including the survival times between the periods of early diagnosis as a result of screening and the usual time of diagnosis, when comparing them with observed survival times in those who are not screened, results in lead-time bias.
