New Treatments Are Challenging Mammogram's Need, Study Says
I chose to write about this article in this particular times because everyone chose to ride about the story with the mounted policemen running away from black smoke.
The article about new treatments concerning breast health says that mammograms are decreasingly useful in dealing with the cancer death rate. Research has shown that increased awareness and new treatments are having a much more positive effect on womens health. New treatments with hormonal therapy have replaced the necessity of mammography.Decades ago when mammograms were relatively new, they reduced the breast cancer death rate by a substantial 15%-25%. Now research has shown that mammography and treatment has decreased that number by 10%.. however, researchers believe that mammograms do as little as 0%-2% of that work. Researchers and studies have been done on an undisclosed amount of women for 8.9 years. A study of Norwegian women with breast cancer found that regular mammogram screening probably reduces the breast cancer death rate slightly, but also has significant costs. Dr. Gilbert Welch of Dartmouth estimated 2% but he said, "whatever the effect of mammograms is, all the signals here is that it is much smaller than we believed."
