Original Note:
The claim that mammograms are linked to an 84% increase in breast cancer deaths is inaccurate and reflects a significant misreading of the published results of the study. Routine screening with mammography reduces breast cancer deaths in women aged 40 to 75. https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2023/mammography-older-women-breast-cancer-overdiagnosis https://blackdotresearch.sg/mammograms-breast-cancer-deaths/ https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/breast-cancer/screening-tests-and-early-detection/american-cancer-society-recommendations-for-the-early-detection-of-breast-cancer.html https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaoncology/fullarticle/2811409 https://bmcmedimaging.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12880-018-0303-3 https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/news-punch/
