Breast Cancer False Positives In Mammograms and Cancer Prevention 0
A study of over 1.6 million cases showed that not only mammograms for breast cancer detection did not increase the rate of cancer detection, they actually substantially increased the number of false positives that are given with mammograms.

Breast Cancer False Positives In Mammograms
False positives are extremely hard for any cancer patient. Not only do they leave a huge psychological scar, many people even pursue breast tissue removal because of such false positives.
Aggressive Breast Cancers and Mammograms
Many real and aggressive cancers can actually be detected by self detection because they can double in size in a period of a month. Most mammogram appointments are done annually or semi annually, which do not give enough time for an aggressive breast cancer.
Cancer Prevention vs Cancer Detection
It is not feasible and logically sound for us to rely on cancer detection as our first defense against cancer. It is more logical to move towards cancer prevention instead, knowing that prevention is the strategy against cancer.
- Reducing Breast Cancer Risk
- Higher intake of vitamin D, one of the most effective cancer preventatives
- Optimization of omega 3 level intake
- Stress reduction and lifestyle change
- Xenoetrogens reduction from plastics (eg. BPA)
- Excising more and often
- Adopting for a better diet
- Discontinue/Stop birth control pills (estrogens dominance, which is the lead cause of breast cancer)
A few preventative steps done right and regularly can not only reduce the risk of cancer but they can be used with much more credible results when it comes to cancer detection.
