Every time I see a report like this, I become suspicious. Thanks to Obamacare, the number and frequency of certain tests have been reduced with the reasoning they are no longer needed. A report like this is the excuse the insurers need to stop paying. How many diseases will go undetected and ultimately prove fatal as a result?

When I read this: "...For example, there is no way to know if the women who received the mammograms were the same women who went on to be diagnosed with the disease, they write..."

My first thought was: Really? How on earth did they do the study? Did they do an informal poll or something, because the number of women who receive mammograms in any given system, and the number of cancers that are developed from mammograms in that system are well documented. Every accredited program has software to keep those statistics.

They have to follow-up with pathology, and link it back to the mammogram, and reports are run on it. It seems fishy to me.

Was this funded by a government grant? It appears in JAMA, which are Obamacare rump-swabs.

Most breast cancer is discovered by the individual not a mammogram.

I discovered mine then freaked out and ran to my gynecologist who promptly sent me for an emergency mammogram at the hospital. The radiologist came out after and told me it really didn’t look like cancer to him and for me not to worry. A subsequent biopsy brought me the bad news.

Everytime you get a mammogram you get a dose of radiation. My gyno told me a long time ago that if you get enough mammograms they will give you breast cancer at some point. I now only do it every few years.

I found a lump in one of my breasts myself. They did a mammogram to see if I had tumors in the other breast and it came back negative.

But Jesus woke me up and told me to have both breasts removed which I did. The “good” breast was riddled with small tumors. I would probably be dead about now if I did not have the Holy Spirit taking care of me.
