The Role of Mammography in Breast Health an Overdue Paradigm Shift
Peter Leando Ph.D.

Experts are publishing new evidence in peer-reviewed journals relating to the risks inherent in using mammography for breast screening. The findings are of no surprise to a growing number of doctors and specialists who have known for years that some of the cancers they have to treat are linked to the accumulative effects of mammographic radiation exposure.

Controversy has raged for years as to whether the risks related to the radiation exposure suffered from mammography are justified by the benefits gained ...... new evidence relating to the particular type of radiation used and the hard evidence relating to the clinical benefits of mammography have caused a serious re-evaluation of the justification of mammography as a screening test.

If changes for the better are to be made, then the current paradigm needs serious evaluation by examining all of the existing evidence.

We should first clarify the difference between ‘screening’ and ‘diagnostic’ mammography. Screening mammography is performed on healthy women from the age of 40 to 70 and is aimed at identifying suspicious findings, which justify further investigation. Diagnostic mammography is performed on patients who have existing justification for this test, this could be one or more risk factors, clinical symptoms, or a palpable lump.
There is little augment about mammography’s role as the “gold standard” for evaluating suspicious symptoms but can we still justify subjecting women without symptoms to screening mammography and the radiation exposure which is known to be damaging.

This paper poses the question;
If Mammography is found to be an inappropriate test for screening or early diagnosis, “What alternatives do we have”?
This paper proposes a paradigm shift and suggests a new model for breast screening and the reduction of mortality from breast disease.
