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
