WE DON'T NEED PREVENTIVE CARE....:

Breast screening `doesn't cut death rates': ROUTINE breast cancer screening may have little effect on reducing deaths from the disease and the value of national programs should be questioned, according to a new report. (Sean Parnell, 3/25/10, The Australian)

A study by the Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen, published yesterday in the British Medical Journal, says national screening programs bring no benefit in terms of lives saved.

The study, based on the Danish program, is the latest work to raise questions about the efficacy of population-wide mammographies

The latest findings, based on analysis of data over a 20-year period covering the introduction of regional screening in Denmark, found that breast cancer mortality fell by 1 per cent per annum in the screened areas and 2 per cent per annum in non-screened areas.

...we need to prevent care.
