Well not according to findings from a ten-year study, which involved 110,000 women, published online in the British Medical Journal by experts questioning the benefits of organised screening programmes. Their research found one in three breast cancers detected by screening may actually be harmless.
Even worse, women are subjected to chemotherapy, radiotherapy and mastectomies for cancers which they may have died WITH but not OF. We've been telling women this for at least 8 years, that subjecting delicate breast tissue to 15 times the normal amount of carcinogenic x rays is not a good idea. The type of cancer detected is usually a Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS), benign, until it is "activated" by biopsy, surgery etc.
Up to a third of breast cancer cases could be avoided if women ate less and exercised more, researchers claim. Experts believe more than 14,000 women a year would probably not develop the disease if they had adopted healthier behaviour from an early age.
Modern lifestyles which feature regular drinking, lack of exercise and increased obesity are fuelling the rise of the disease, the European Breast Cancer Conference heard yesterday.
Which all confirms what we believe to be true. Prevention is better than cure. A healthy diet, keeping your body free from toxins such as sugar, hydrogenated fats, acid foods, junk foods, excess alcohol will do you far more good than undergoing regular mammograms.
Sadly, the medical profession are doing their best to detect a cancer which most women dread, but research has now shown, this is not the way to do it.
