Hello ladies I am from the Head and Neck Section of this site but have recently come across a video covering how breast cancer is screened and treated and discussing it and some alternatives such as Thermography. I think you will find it interesting and please draw your own conclusions. I hope I am not overstepping my bounds by coming from another section of this forum.

Wishing You The Best

Take Care, God Bless

Comprehensive Summary

The documentary discusses the use of mammograms for breast cancer screening, and the associated harms. It covers topics including radiation exposure from mammograms, false positives/negatives leading to unnecessary procedures, overdiagnosis and overtreatment of non-threatening cancers, conflicts of interest in the medical industry, and alternative screening methods such as thermography and ultrasound.
