How To Catch Breast Cancer Early: Stanford Doctors Explain Mammography Options

There are several breast cancer detection options, and it is recommended that all women over age 40 get their mammograms. It has been shown that regular screening can catch breast cancer early and save lives. Stanford radiologists Drs. Debra Ikeda and Jafi Lipson explain the different types of imaging available and also explain the newest technology, tomosynthesis, or 3D mammography.

So I went to the doctor because I was having pain. He didn’t find anything wrong with mine, but I’m glad I got checked. Turns out it was rib pain. Get checked ladies. It’s worth it.

Mammograms are good, but the thing I like about Breast Ultrasounds is that they don't have no radiation.

Great 👍🏾 I just had my mammogram and I chose the 3D as well to have done and the technician went ahead and did the 2D too! I’m praying all is well 💜✝️💜

My name is Diane and I am a 6 year breast cancer survivor. My story began November 2014 when I felt a slight burning sensation in my right breast. I was working as a daycare provider and neglected to do anything, hoping the burning sensation was temporary.
On New Years Eve, 2011, the pain was so severe that I scheduled a mammogram the first week of 2015. A few days after I received a letter telling me to return for a second test.
A few more days passed and I received a letter telling me that there were suspicious findings on my film that needed further testing. My previous mammogram had been in October 2011. What could possibly be wrong?
I had nowhere to turn. I did not know what to do because the place that did the mammogram only told me to ask my primary care doctor. At that time I did not have a primary doctor.
I called my older sister and she told me to go to a gynecologist. I explained the situation to the gynecologist and immediately she found a doctor to give me a biopsy which i did and it was all to no avail until i met a old time high school mate friend Dana who is a survivor who introduced me to a pythothrapist DR HARVEY to God alone i give all the glory and i'm forever greatful to DR HARVEY for being a hand of God in my life....He cured me with his natural herbs and roots today i'm a living testimony. Do not die in silence contact DR HARVEY today VIA
WHATSAPP:[phone]
He cures all types of cancers and all diseases with his natural herbs.

I had sonomammography and mammography yet nothing was seen on the lump why I consulted my doctor. 4 months after, ;I was diagnosed with Stage3B Breast Cancer.

Low-dose ionizing radiation of mammography has been found by medical geneticists to cause double-strand breaks in tumor suppressor DNA, such as pt53 and BRCA1/2 (and there are 14 other genes identified as associated with breast cancer that are susceptible to breakage and mutation), altering the DNA repair pathway and therefore causing mutations which can result in neoplasms (tumors). The statements of hospitals and doctors that mammography lowers the mortality rate and "prevents cancer through early detection, " are creditably refuted by the Cochrane Collaboration metastudy of over 600, 000 women. No, Mammography has NOT been shown to reduce mortality from breast cancer more than l/2 of one percent, results in an unacceptably high rate of false positives and an unacceptably high rate of false negatives, overdiagnosis resulting in mutilation and traumatizing of women for no good reason. Further, Calcifications are normal as people get older. They are not necessarily associated with breast cancer. Let's hear you talk about double-strand breaks in the DNA repair pathways and mammography.... This is exactly what is material to informed consent, which women are being denied by these intentional misrepresentations. Further, calcifications completely unassociated with any cancer whatsoever, commonly occur. Mammography is incapable of making a distinction between a benign and a malignant artifact. And mammography misses tumors in dense breast tissue. But it will image a tumor when it is too late, after years of exposing patients to low-dose ionizing radiation. Mammography is an extremely poor test, and in only the rarest of cases does mammography save a life.Mammography does not save any more than 0.05 percent of lives. It is time to retire this lucrative but unethical mode of "breast cancer screening." Its use is unconscionable.

What if is no little bums or any other diferente unisual thing ??are we only have that guide to know abouted?

[adelinad]

Good sales pitch but please women beware of overdiagnosis and false positives..read last studies and see that there is almost no benefit quantifiable but lots of downsides thay don't tell you about. It's an industry and driven by profit.

Had anyone heard of blood and milk mixture coming out of the nippels ? How long can you live with breast canser?
