The Mammogram Myth: What Breast Cancer Screening Isn’t Telling You
Summary
- Mammograms do not reduce breast cancer deaths or improve survival rates—major studies show identical mortality regardless of screening. Breast cancer isn’t predictable or linear in growth; aggressive cancers are aggressive from the beginning
- The use of radiation-based screening may be causing cancers, not just detecting them
- Overdiagnosis leads to unnecessary mastectomies, especially for DCIS, which often never becomes life-threatening
- New, safer screening tools like the ARIA tears test and QT imaging offer non-invasive, radiation-free options that identify inflammation before cancer develops
