Mammography Breast Cancer Detection Is Not a Good Method

Deaths from breast cancer usually appear between ages 30 to 50 years. Fortunately, today you have more choice in detecting breast cancer than a few decades ago.

Unfortunately, education and socialization will these options and their effectiveness in detecting breast cancer in different levels is less.

Better than Mammography

At the beginning of his article, Beyond Mammography, Dr. Len Saputo told me that he followed the development of all detection methods used by the medical community, including mammography, clinical breast test, ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and PET scans.

In the next section, Dr. Len explained about a method of detection is better than mammography, explains in detail how the latest and great this one method, namely termografi breast (breast Thermography).

Termografi breast is a breast cancer detection methods that have been there since around the 1960s, using a scanner monitors the heat to heat variation detecting breast in the body. However, the infrared scanner in these years was less sensitive. Today, more termografi modern breast has undergone a very rapid progress than ever before.

Breast cancer is the second most violent to women in the United States. Based on the latest reports Cancer.org, 2007-2008 Breast Cancer Data, in the year 2007 there have been 178,000 new cases of breast cancer and more than 40,000 women die of it.

But to watch a man not immune to breast cancer. Has found more than 2,000 men diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007 and approximately 450 men died because of it. Because detection of breast cancer for men is almost never done, this seems to make a man diagnosed with a more severe stage, and thus a small survival rate.

Unfortunately, in this case the conventional medical still use the old method of detecting and treating cancer, no matter how much less effective method.

The use of mammography as a standard is one example of conventional medical errors in detecting cancer.

The Case Against Mammography

Health institutions in the United States recommends all women over 40 years to get a mammogram every 1 or 2 years, but there is no strong evidence that mammogram tests could save lives and the benefits were too controversial. It is precisely the danger to the health of mammography has been clearly known.

John Gofman, M.D., Ph.D. – A nuclear physicist and a medical doctor, and one of the world-class experts in the field of radiation hazards, presenting the evidence irrefutable in his book “Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of Cancer and Ischemic Heart Disease”, which explains that the more 50% rate of cancer deaths was triggered by the use of x-ray.
