On the futility of breast cancer screening
One of the principal load-bearing myths on which the sociopolitical power of the medical-industrial complex rests, is that cancer screening programs save lives. It seems intuitively obvious that if cancer is detected at an early stage when it is smaller, less aggressive, and hasn't metastasised, it will be easier to treat, and hence patients will be subjected to less aggressive treatment protocols and will be more likely to survive their brush with 'The Big C' than if their cancer was only diagnosed when it had reached a more advanced stage.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
