A New Method of Breast Cancer Screening & Prevention with Dr. Jenn Simmons Jul 17, 2024

Show notes

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
