Breast screening 'doesn't cut deaths': Study of 40 years of mammograms show 'no evidence' they reduce chance of dying (JENNY HOPE, 10 June 2013, Daily Mail)
Screening for breast cancer does not cut the chance of dying from the disease, a study claims.The examination of 40 years of UK data produced 'no evidence' there was a greater fall in death rates in women who underwent mammograms.In fact, the age group that showed the steepest fall in mortality rates were the under 40s - who are not eligible for the regular X-ray check-ups.
