Noors onderzoek onderzoekt de ware
voordelen van mammografieën
Gebaseerd op deze studie is geconcludeerd
dat screeninings mammogrammen slechts 2 procent voordeel oplevert bij het terugdringen van
borstkanker sterfgevallen.
De voordelen van mammografie zijn
veel kleiner dan artsen denken
Bijna een jaar na de controversiële
publicatie over richtlijnen voor borstkankerbehandeling stelt een commissie dat de
voordelen van mammografie veel kleiner zijn dan oorspronkelijk gedacht.
De WHO stelde in 2002 dat
borstkankerscreening bij vrouwen van 50 tot 69 jaar de mortaliteit met een kwart
reduceert. Noorse onderzoekers concluderen dat het effect veel kleiner is.

Mammogrammen veroorzaken juist
borstkanker
Hello, my name is Doctor Calvin Ross and I
am a certified X-ray technician and I am very concerned about women continuing to receive
annual Mammograms for breast cancer screening. Mammograms are X-ray radiation and
radiation causes breast cancer. I have carefully researched the history of mammograms and
breast cancer and here are the documented facts from my professional literature research
from around the world. Mammograms were introduced in 1965 and just four years later in
1969 the first report appeared stating X-ray radiation was causing breast cancer. For the
last forty years the evidence has been nonstop and clearly documents the extreme threat in
developing breast cancer after being exposed to dangerous X-ray radiation.
Mammogrammen verhogen kans op
borstkanker met 250%
An International Agency for Research on
Cancer study showed that chest X-rays may increase women's chances of developing breast
cancer. The study involved 1,600 women with high-risk
BRCA1 and 2 gene mutations. "If confirmed in prospective studies, young women who are
members of families known to have BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations may wish to consider
alternatives to X-ray, such as MRI," Lead researcher Dr. David Goldgar said....
Alternatief voor mammografie zonder
de stralingsrisico's !
The world's first radar breast imaging
system developed at Bristol University that could revolutionise the way women are scanned
for breast cancer, is being trialled at North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT). Professor Alan
Preece and Dr Ian Craddock from the University of Bristol have been working for a number
of years to develop a breast-imaging device which uses radio waves and therefore has no
radiation risk unlike conventional mammograms. The team began developing and researching a
prototype around five years ago and have received funding from organisations including the
Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the trustees of the United
Bristol Hospitals and the University of Bristol spin-out company, Micrima Ltd. Dr Ian
Craddock from the University's Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, said:
"This new imaging technique works by transmitting radio waves of a very low energy
and detecting reflected signals, it then uses these signals to make a 3D image of the
breast. This is basically the same as any radar system, such as the radars used for air
traffic control at our airports."
Het preventief controlen op borstkanker is niet
geheel zonder risico's doordat men juist door het gebruik van gamma stralen ook kanker kan
gaan ontwikkelen. Dit verhaal is in het Engels maar toch zeer de moeite waard. Lijkt een
beetje op de bijwerkingen van een chemotherapie waarbij het immuunsysteem (met name de
voorraad anti-oxydanten) flink te leiden heeft met als gevolg een zeer verzwakt
immuunsysteem met alle gevolgen van dien.
However, there is growing evidence that
mammograms which, like any x-ray, involve zapping the patient with radiation can be
positively harmful and even cause the disease they are intended to detect. A Canadian
study, which has yet to be published in full, seems set to confirm the findings of earlier
research which clearly suggests that you are more likely to die from cancer if you undergo
screening than if you don't.
The Canadian study, using the National Breast Cancer Screening Trial, is examining the
effect of mammography on women under 50. Data released so far suggests that women whose
cancer was detected through mammograms have a shorter life expectancy than those who used
self examination alone.
Such concerns are far from new. As long ago as the early 1980s, the late Dr Robert
Mendelsohn, in Male Practice, How Doctors Manipulate Women (Contemporary Books, Chicago,
1982), wrote: "I have been warning for years that annual mammographic screening of
women without symptoms may produce more cancer than it detects." Mendelsohn quoted Dr
C Bailar III, editor in chief of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, as making
the same point in a 1975 report. "His conclusion was supported by numerous studies,
which suggested that accumulated x-ray doses in excess of 100 rads over 10 to 15 years may
induce cancer of the breast," said Mendelsohn.
An increasing number of doctors are contesting the claim that annual mammograms decrease
women's risk of dying from breast cancer. Danish researcher Dr. Peter Gotzsche first made
this claim in a study published in "The Lancet" in October 2006. Gotzsche had
re-analyzed the studies originally done on the benefits of mammograms and found them
unconvincing. http://www.healthtruthrevealed.com/full-page.php?id=1656304602&&page=article
Breast cancer screening harms ten
women for every one it helps
A
new study by researchers from the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Denmark found that mammograms
may harm ten times as many women as they help. The researchers examined the benefits and
negative effects of seven breast cancer screening programs on 500,000 women in the United
States, Canada, Scotland and Sweden. The study's authors found that for every 2,000 women
who received mammograms over a 10-year period, only one would have her life prolonged, but
10 would endure unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments. http://www.newstarget.com/020829.html
Why Mammography is NOT an Effective Breast Cancer
Screen
In the first part of the in-depth article
linked below, Beyond Mammography, Dr. Len Saputo explores the latest findings on the
effectiveness and shortcomings of various detection methods used by the mainstream medical
community, including mammography, clinical breast exams, ultrasound, and to a lesser
extent, magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) and PET scans.
American Researchers Question

A public row is taking place among some European investigators over a 22-year-old study
that helped lay the foundation for mammography screening worldwide. Some experts question

Mammograms May Boost Cancer Risk in
High-Risk Women
Mammograms may actually boost the risk of
breast cancer in some high-risk women, a new study suggests. Dutch researchers analyzed
six previously published studies, four examining the effect of low-dose radiation exposure
from mammography among women with the genetic mutation boosting breast cancer risk and two
looking at the effect of radiation from screening in women with a family history of breast
cancer. "Women who were exposed before the age of 20 had a 2.5 times increased risk
of breast cancer," said Martine Jansen-van der Weide, an epidemiologist and
researcher at the University Medical Center Groningen, in the Netherlands. So did women
with five or more exposures.
