The data reported by the task force is not new to those of us following this debate for decades. Women should be thrilled to not have to subject themselves to early doses of radiation, served up with compression, when their breasts are too dense for a good image from mammograms. Girls, this is about business. If the health care community really cared about our breasts, they would be supporting breast thermography, a radiation-free scan that gives a great picture of 40'iish, and younger, breasts. At least this controversy has brought much needed attention to the deficiencies of mammograms. (Please don't tell me who you know who was saved by them ... we all know women who died because of poor practices involving mammograms as well.)
