Update: 2024-07-17
Description
Episode Highlights With Dr. Jenn Simmons
- The downfall of imaging as breast cancer prevention is that this is really just early diagnosis and not prevention
- Far beyond cancer, there are a lot of benign changes in the breast that can cause stress for people
- Why screening doesn’t improve outcomes as much as we once thought
- No matter how many women we screen per year, the exact same number die of breast cancer and present with aggressive disease
- Statistically, mammograms don’t save lives or breasts and just have increased the risk of mastectomy
- How mammography may actually contribute to breast cancer
- Mammography - if you screen 2,000 women, you can potentially save one woman but cause 10 who didn’t need it to be treated for breast cancer
- The new type of imaging that is radiation-free and lower risk with better resolution and results
- How absurd it is that we are using a method that causes cancer to screen for cancer
