In 2016, an estimated 246,660 new cases of invasive breast cancer, 61,000 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer, and 40,450 breast cancer deaths are expected to be recorded in the United States alone. With the rising rates of breast cancer, mammography has gained popularity globally as the most effective screening technique to detect the most common cancer among women.
I believe that if you did have a tumor, the last thing you would want to do is crush that tumor between two plates, because that would spread it. — Dr. Sarah Mybill, General Practitioner
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention insists mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer, claims the leading national public health institute of the United States.
I think if a woman from the age of 50 has a mammogram every year, or every two years, she’s going to get breast cancer as a direct result from that. — Dr. Patrick Kingsley, Clinical Ecologist
This, despite the fact that the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently excluded mammography for women under 50 – based on scientific evidence of limited efficacy in reducing breast cancer mortality for women between 40 and 49 – the IARC working group further noted that early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening have important harmful outcomes such as false positive results, over-diagnosis, over-treatment and radiation-induced cancer.
First off, let me say All praises be to the one true god, Ahayah through the son’s name Yashaya! Whoever posted this, may the Lord bless you, this is some pertinent information! Next, for the men, this is a disclaimer, it is sort of personal to women, so please don’t be uncomfortable. If this message were to be posted at every women’s health clinic in America, a disease that is claimed to be hereditary and incurable would and can be prevented. I never knew why they have to squish your breasts to find tumorous cancer cells. Like the article read, would it not cause them to metastasize (spread around)? I have a love/hate relationship with technology these days because on one end, some of the things they do can actually save lives, but then you have outdated methods such as this killing our mothers, aunts, sisters, wives…it is disheartening! Now that I know this information I will inform my sisters about what this barbaric device actually causes!
