For every 1000 "not-screened" women, 5 will die of breast cancer. For every 1000 women screened, 4 will die of breast cancer anyway, regardless of mammography screening. This is the 20% risk-lowering benefit claimed by mammography proponents.

Mammograms are said to cut the risk of dying from breast cancer by as much as 20 percent, which sounds like an invincible argument for regular screening. Two Maryland researchers want people to question that kind of thinking. They want patients to reexamine the usefulness of cancer exams, cholesterol tests, osteoporosis pills, MRI scans and many other routinely prescribed procedures and medicines.

Screening is a CHOICE! Make yours a safe one. Consider thermography, 100% safe, better sensitivity in dense breasts, no pain, compression, contact or radiation of any kind.
