Breast cancer screening: New doctor recommendations to know about<br />
StatePoint Media<br />
Breast cancer is the most common<br />
cancer in women and the<br />
fourth leading cause of cancer<br />
death in the U.S. Annual mammograms<br />
have been widely promoted<br />
for women by many health<br />
advocates; however, experts say<br />
that for women with an average<br />
risk for breast cancer who don’t<br />
have symptoms, diagnostic exams<br />
should be administered strategically,<br />
as screening too frequently<br />
can do more harm than good.<br />
In a recent evidence-based<br />
guidance statement published<br />
in “Annals of Internal Medicine,”<br />
the American College of<br />
Physicians — an organization<br />
representing internal medicine<br />
physicians — says that averagerisk<br />
women with no symptoms<br />
and who are between the ages of<br />
50 and 74 should undergo breast<br />
cancer screening with mammography<br />
every other year.<br />
ACP found that annual mammography<br />
results in more harm<br />
than mammography every other<br />
year. Harms of breast cancer<br />
screening include over-diagnosis,<br />
over-treatment, false positive<br />

schke said she feels stronger and younger.<br />
“I share my new insights about diet<br />
and lifestyle with my adult children and<br />
through social media groups,” she said.<br />
“Next, I am considering follow-up with<br />
the Phase III rehab, more like a gym membership,<br />
or even purchasing a treadmill so<br />
I can follow up with my routine at home.“<br />
Unfortunately, Teschke’s initial dismissal<br />
of symptoms is not uncommon,<br />
especially in women. Her advice: Talk to<br />
your doctor about any minor changes in<br />
physical symptoms and follow the doctor’s<br />
advice.<br />
Teschke’s “tight bra” helped her recognize<br />
symptoms, reduce risk factors and follow<br />
up with new ways to live a healthier<br />
and longer life!<br />
