  • S4E18: Do mammograms actually save lives?

    S4E18: Do mammograms actually save lives?
    Apr 11 2024
    Join us as we talk with Dr. Jenn Simmons who expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of mammography in actually saving lives. Simmons argues that mammograms aren't impacting mortality and often lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of cancers that may never cause harm during a patient's lifetime. This overdiagnosis can result in unnecessary treatments that have their own risks and side effects. Listen in as part of our medical skepticism series as Dr. Simmons highlights the need for improved education and awareness about the limitations and potential harms of mammography, as well as the benefits, to help women make more informed decisions about their breast health care.
