Breast Screening - some inconvenient truths - Video

The pro-screening lobby is locked into a mindset dating back to the
late 1980s. Since then our understanding of the biology of breast
cancer and its treatment has moved on whilst the screening
programme continues without modification based on the results of
trials reported in 1987. This lecture will discuss some of the
harmful problems of this over-diagnosing system, and will look at
the need for radical change to bring the entire programme up to
date with modern practice based on risk assessment and risk
management.
