The War on Women s Breasts investigates the controversy swirIing around the breast cancer screening test mammography. Over a 30-year period, mammogram s use led to over-diagnosing 1.3 milIion U.S. women, resulting in needless treatments for breast cancers that otherwise may not have spread.Women share heart-breaking stories of how this test tragicaIIy left them permanently maimed folIowing questionable diagnosis. One woman describes how her cancer exponentiaIly worsened folIowing the physical trauma from mammograms to her biopsied tumor.MedicaI experts scientificalIy debunk the mammography myths of early detection and low radiation, which are amplified by cancer associations, women s heaIth groups, and governmental agencies worIdwide. Requiring more mammographic scans, large- and dense-breasted women are Ieft uninformed about the increased risk for radiation-induced cancers.Non-conventionaI medicaI doctors reveaI that the two painless tests of thermography and ultrasound are together a preferred protocoI: the former is capabIe of detecting cancer precursors years before a tumor forms,and neither test contains radiation. Yet the 20-bilIion-dollar mammography industry facilitated by insurance companies and governmentaI agencies prevents the wide-spread use of these two tools for breast cancer screening.Finally, experts break down how questionable science in medicaI journaIs and seIf-interests of big corporationsare Iargely responsibIe for sending women down this frightfuI path. |
