Excellent I strongly recommend this book to everyone, not only those considering breast screening. It's very concerning that so many influences shape medical policy and that can mean misleading and harming people. There is an expectation that women in particular should just submit to screening, this book shows why women should demand the facts and make up their own mindssadly, in most cases, we can't rely on our doctors for an unbiased overview of the risks and benefits of screening.there are too many things at play that do not have our interests at heartpolitics, profits, misguided pressure and gender groups, defensive medicine. Thank heavens for people like Peter Gotzschethe bottom linebe extremely cautious with cancer screening, make sure you find unbiased and balanced information and don't allow anyone to pressure or coerce you into testingscreening can harm us and we can say NO! It's a concern we spend millions on something that might represent harm for no or little benefit. absolutely loved it. It was very very well researched from someone with status within the profession, well written and even some jokes :) hockey A very important book, and I believe he's essentially right about the harms of breast screening vastly outweighing the benefits, but it could have been a engaging read. hockey I was always sceptical of breast screening why irradiate people just to find out a remote possibility of early cancer? I opted out of the programme personally as I did not wish to be subjected to unnecessary radiation and as an ex nurse felt that exposure to radiation should be avoided wherever possible so I was intrigued by this book. As a vegan, using diet and nutrition to avoid cancer seems to make sense than risking contracting it by unnecessary radiation exposure.
The overall information is encouraging in as much as it is clearly demonstrated that screening can do harm than good but there is quite a lot of gripe factor in the narrative but one supposes that campaigning against the grain of established thought will always generate controversy and thus criticism, much of which is documented in the book. If you ignore that it is well worth a read but there is less clinical information than I would have expected. It is really a book about statistical evidence but nevertheless a very useful source of information. It seems to be generally Scandinavian based not surprising given the author's nationality!
I would recommend it if only to generate wider understanding of how dogma sets policy. Mammography Screening (Truth, Lies and Controversy)
For all those who no longer want to blindly submit to breast cancer screening, increasingly criticized by doctors and patients. The public authorities continue their propaganda. I hope it will come to an end soon and we will understand that there is damage than benefits.
Read absolutely.. At last, the truth about mammography. hockey Health care and science generally is far from being a dry and numerical en devour. This book is an amazing overview of the politics, money and personal pride behind breast cancer screening which unfortunately is getting in the way of health. Doing is not necessarily doing better. Sometime we really just need to shout doctor don't just do something stand there
Get it as soon as Monday, May 2 Mammography Screening (Truth, Lies and Controversy)
