Mammograms May Contribute to Breast Cancer Risk

December 16, 2009 – 7:52 am

Many parties, from doctors to the media and concerned family members, parrot the notion that mammograms help to detect breast cancer in women and thus help to “save lives”. Such assertions, however, fail badly at bringing attention to the other side of the coin - such diagnostic tests actually contribute to the development of cancer, [...]
