[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some medical groups recommend waiting til 45 or 50 if you don’t have risk factors. Most of the physicians I know say we are massively over screening and it isn’t resulting in better outcomes but most women I know who are not physicians are going every year.[/quote] How would it not result in better outcomes to find the cancer early on mammogram?[/quote] The over simplified answer is that slow growing cancers grow so slowly you don’t need to catch them all that early, and the fast growing aggressive cancers tend to kill you regardless of when you catch them. [/quote] Yeah, that last is untrue , so mammo it is![/quote]
