Mammograms Lead To Invalid Diagnoses, Cause Harm
Friday, December 15th 2017
By: Sayer Ji, Founder

The global juggernaut of unremitting and unapologetic breast cancer overdiagnosis and overtreatment persists.

As we have recently reported on, high gravitas journals such as BMJ have begun to publish studies indicating that 'cancer screening has never saved lives,' or that what conventional medical authorities considered for decades to be 'cancer' really wasn't after all..

“The data on advanced breast cancer in the Netherlands indicate that the Dutch national mammography screening programme would have had little influence on the decreases in breast cancer mortality observed over the past 24 years. This conclusion accords with the mounting evidence that randomised trials have overestimated the ability of mammography screening to reduce the risk of deaths from breast cancer in the entire life period after first exposure to mammography screening.44 45 46 In contrast, the extent of overdiagnosis is continuously increasing with the invitation of older women to screening and the adoption of imaging technologies able to detect increasingly smaller breast tumours, most of which are of unknown clinical importance.”

As the Cochrane review has also shown, mammograms do not save lives and the increasing overdiagnosis of breast cancer is causing more harm than good (but increasing profits for the pharma-medico complex).
