Many women are having mammograms regularly to help detect if they have breast cancer. What if mammograms aren’t all what we’ve been told they are? In February 2014 the largest study ever to take place on this topic was performed. The results were astonishing! The researchers found out way more then they expected. Before you get a mammogram, do your research to see if the benefits outweigh the negatives for you. Learn the facts and results about mammograms all on the Next Page.

“The procedure might be able to save your life, but the success rate is not as high as we would wish. Mammography offers (at best) a risk reduction of about 20 to 25%. This is not negligible, but when we look at the absolute death prevention numbers, the screening itself prevents only one breast-cancer death in 1,000 women.”
And ” that these days early breast cancer detection is somewhat less important as better treatments are available.”
I’d like to be in that 20 to 25% risk reduction and hopeful I’m that 1 in a 1000.
“Mammography in women less than 30 are more than twice as likely to develop breast cancer from the radiation.” I’m not aware that any doctor would order the procedure before the age of 50 unless medically warranted.
These days, early breast cancer detection is somewhat less important???? You’re joking right? I’ve read enough thanks. Will continue with my annual physical and mammogram.

Other studies show that mammogram was responsible for almost 80% of reported cases. Another 10% was misdiagnosis. The medical profession is a business that’s all
