SAN FRANCISCO — Mammograms should not be done on a one-size fits all basis, but instead should be personalized based on a woman’s age, the density of her breasts, her family history of breast cancer and other factors including her own values.

Mammograms – Risks and What They Don’t Tell You!

Edit Article |

]]>

If you do any research on the Internet, there are plenty of articles that are dated from 2007 that question the pros/cons of mammograms. And now as of November, 2009, a government task force has come out to say that women should not get a mammogram until they are 50. Doesn’t this make you wonder what the real truth is?! So many “integrative doctors” have been saying for a long time that mammograms are not recommended because the exposure of radiation can be 1,000 times greater than a chest x-ray. That alone makes women vulnerable to unnecessary risks of radiation-induced cancer. In addition, mammograms are usually very painful because of the breasts being compressed. This in turn can lead to a lethal spread of any existing malignant cells. Too many times, my wife has come home in tears from the pain caused by mammograms. She has not had a mammogram in several years and now refuses to ever get another one. There really is NO solid evidence that mammograms save lives. Research has shown that adding an annual mammogram to a regular thorough physical checkup of the breasts does NOT improve the survival rates of breast cancer over getting the examination by itself. Every woman should conduct their own research before agreeing to a mammogram. There are new tests called “thermal imaging” or thermography. This is a test that creates a digital map of your body that illustrates heat patterns. The patterns may detect some condition or abnormality. It uses a scanning-type infrared camera that measures the body surface temperature, presenting the information as a digitized image. The thermograms are analyzed for abnormalities that may be signs of disease in your body. Thermograms provide: *Reliable and accurate information for diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis *Exact and objective data from accurate measurements of thermal information *Substantial financial savings over conventional investigations The difference between the thermograms and mammograms is listed below: *Mammograms – show anatomical changes in the breast, detecting masses or lumps in the breast tissue. *Thermograms look at vascular changes in the breast, detecting blood flow patterns, inflammation and asymmetries. All women can benefit from thermograms. It has been shown to be particularly useful for young women who want to monitor their breast health before the recommended age of 40. Every woman should be given the pros and cons and allow them to make their own informative decision.

Are All Abnormal Mammograms Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer forms inside the tissues of the breast. It is more common in women that it is in men. A self examination and a mammogram are used to detect the presence of lumps. The lumps are then tested to check if they are cancerous and need to be removed. Treatment involves surgery, drugs and radiation. In addition, there are many different types of breast cancer and the extent of their spread is different. Early detection is very important because, it means that you start receiving treatment early. This helps increase your chances of survival.

Breast cancer is more likely to happen in women who come from families with a history of the disease. It is likely to occur in women over the age of forty and those that have the cancer causing gene. Every woman over the age of forty is required to get a mammogram yearly. Those at a higher risk should consider getting checked before the age of forty. A screen mammogram is able to detect an abnormality before it is big enough to be felt during self-examinations. If a lump is found, then a diagnostic mammogram is done to check whether it is cancerous. Other follow-up tests that could be done to check whether a lump is cancerous include; a needle biopsy, a surgical biopsy or a breast ultra-sound.

Not all lumps or abnormal mammograms are indications of breast cancer. A lump could be benign and non-cancerous. It could be a breast cyst or a denser than normal breast tissue. Another factor that could lead to an abnormal looking mammogram is a previous breast surgery. Further tests after screening mammogram needs to be done as soon as possible. This is done so as to allay the patients fears or so that, treatment can begin.

Abnormal mammogram results can have adverse effects on the lives of the patients, family members and friends. This is because of the uncertainty involved as they wait for the diagnostic, biopsy or ultra sound results. Repeated use of mammograms could result in problems due to radiation exposure. There are also limitations involved with the use of these tests. For example, they do not usually save lives as diagnosis could be made after the cancer has spread to other body parts. In situations where it has not spread, it could still not result in helping save lives.

Breast Cancer Treatment Abroad

Your body is made up of many types of cells. In normal course, cells grow, divide, and produce more cells to keep your body healthy. However, at times, this process may not function properly and cells may become abnormal, forming more cells, in an uncontrolled manner. These extra cells form a mass of tissue, called a growth or a ‘tumour’.
