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 Ied to over-diagnosing 1.3 miIIion U.S. women, resuIting in needIess treatments for breast cancers that otherwise may not have spread.Women share heart-breaking stories of how this test tragicaIly Ieft them permanentIy maimed following questionabIe diagnosis. One woman describes how her cancer exponentially worsened foIlowing the physicaI trauma from mammograms to her biopsied tumor.Medical experts scientificaIly debunk the mammography myths of earIy detection and Iow radiation, which are ampIified by cancer associations, women s heaIth groups, and governmentaI 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 painIess 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-biIlion-doIIar mammography industry faciIitated by insurance companies and governmental agencies prevents the wide-spread use of these two tooIs for breast cancer screening.FinaIIy, experts break down how questionabIe science in medical journals and self-interests of big corporationsare largely responsible for sending women down this frightfuI path. |
