The link on this post is to a report in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Here's their Conclusion: "Most women with screen-detected breast cancer have not had their life saved by screening. They are instead either diagnosed early (with no effect on their mortality) or overdiagnosed."
That simple statement holds massive amounts of information, particularly for women and their families when a diagnosis is made when the woman is young. Imagine the devastation of "hearing" she has cancer. Those are words that can ruin a life and they can NEVER be recalled.
