Mammography May Mean Over-Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer
Dear Reader,
Today breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women, after
lung cancer.
As a result, a yearly mammogram has become common for women over 40,
or anyone at high risk of developing this dangerous, disfiguring disease.
Now that programs like this are in place, experts had expected that
the number of cases of advanced breast cancer would drop off, but that's
not happening.
Instead the incidence of breast cancer seems to have gone up since
widespread screening became part of our yearly exams. Why?
Women know that early detection of breast cancer can save lives,
but that doesn't make going for that yearly mammogram any less nerve
wracking or uncomfortable.
We endure the testing because we've been told we need to find lumps
when they're too small to feel or bring symptoms, before they have
a chance to grow and cause trouble.
But do all cancers cause problems?
Late last year a large Norwegian study of mammography screening for
breast cancer found that some invasive cancers might spontaneously
regress over time, leaving no sign that they were ever present in a
woman's body.
The study authors pointed out, "This raises the possibility that
the natural course of some screen-detected invasive breast cancers
is to spontaneously regress."
Makes you wonder, now that we can screen for it, if breast cancer
isn't over diagnosed or over treated.
This latest BMJ report citing an over-diagnosis rate for invasive
breast cancer of 35% could truly have you re-thinking that yearly mammogram.
Besides breast cancer, over-diagnosis has also been mentioned for
cancer of the prostate as well as neuroblastoma, melanoma, thyroid
cancer and lung cancer.
The latest work on over-diagnosis comes from researchers out of the
Nordic Cochrane Centre in Copenhagen.
The team looked at the findings
of studies that spanned a 14-year period. 7 years before public mammography
screenings were available, and 7 years after government run mammography-screening
programs were in place in five different countries (United Kingdom,
Canada, New South Wales, Australia, Manitoba, Sweden and areas in
Norway)
They found an over-diagnosis rate of 52% for all cancers, 35% for
invasive breast cancer.
The data shows a jump in breast cancer incidence just after the screening
programs were put in place.
What this work suggests, as did the Norwegian
study before it, that perhaps not all cancers need to be treated,
some might grow too slowly to affect a patient and others may resolve
on
their own.
It's important to know that no doctor or current screening technique
can tell the difference between a cancer that's dangerous and one that
might not be.
In a BMJ editorial that's published along with the research, professor
of medicine Dr. H. Gilbert Welch of the Dartmouth Institute for Health
Policy and Clinical Research recognizes the problem of over-diagnosis,
understanding the trauma and terror a woman endures after being given
such news by her doctor.
Surgery and chemotherapy bring their own set of difficulties that
are physically demanding and emotionally draining, and a terrible trial
for patients and families. Especially those whose cancers might not
have needed to be treated at all.

Mammography May Mean Over-Diagnosis Of Breast Cancer Continued...
While this latest study is still not an excuse, or recommendation, to put
off your yearly mammogram, it does raise some rather nagging questions.
Until we know more, each woman has to decide for herself, keeping in mind
the words of breast cancer experts.
"We do know that breast cancer survival
has increased, and we do know that screening increases survival," points
out Dr. Richard J. Bleicher, a breast cancer surgeon with Fox Chase Cancer
Center in Philadelphia. "Some of that screening has let us detect earlier
cancers."
To your good health,
