Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in women and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in American women. Although cardiovascular-related deaths significantly outnumber breast cancer deaths, breast cancer is arguably the most feared diagnosis among American women. Great strides have been made to heighten public awareness of breast cancer, with particular emphasis on early detection with mammography. Breast radiologists regularly witness the extreme anxiety that just the thought of being diagnosed with breast cancer can cause a patient. This anxious anticipation is often heightened by a lack of knowledge about what to expect from the process of breast imaging evaluation, which is frustrating for both patient and practitioner and can negatively affect the experience. Physicians often encounter patients who have little or no understanding of the reasoning behind the examination or procedure about to be performed-sometimes even up to the day of their breast cancer surgery. Furthermore, most women who undergo breast evaluations will not be diagnosed with cancer. The incidence of breast cancer is only 125.3 per 100,000 women (or 3-6 in every 1,000 screenings), however, symptoms of benign breast abnormalities are quite common and impact many more lives. Accurately diagnosing these non-cancerous conditions can alleviate much anxiety, in addition to helping patients towards a correct treatment plan. The Breast Test Book is a straightforward guide to the process of radiologic breast evaluations. Based on the most current scientific research and best standards of clinical practice, it will help debunk myths, shed light on misinformation, and provide clear facts about what women should expect from these screenings. This improved understanding will ultimately allow patients to play more active roles in their own care and, in the event that a diagnosis is made, give them confidence in their treatment.

Download or read book Mammography Screening written by Peter Gotzsche and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'This book gives plenty of examples of ad hominem attacks, intimidation, slander, threats of litigation, deception, dishonesty, lies and other violations of good scientific practice. For some years I kept a folder labeled Dishonesty in breast cancer screening on top of my filing cabinet, storing articles and letters to the editor that contained statements I knew were dishonest. Eventually I gave up on the idea of writing a paper about this collection, as the number of examples quickly exceeded what could be contained in a single article.' From the Introduction The most effective way to decrease women's risk of becoming a breast cancer patient is to avoid attending screening. Mammography screening is one of the greatest controversies in healthcare, and the extent to which some scientists have sacrificed sound scientific principles in order to arrive at politically acceptable results in their research is extraordinary. In contrast, neutral observers increasingly find that the benefit has been much oversold and that the harms are much greater than previously believed. This groundbreaking book takes an evidence-based, critical look at the scientific disputes and the information provided to women by governments and cancer charities. It also explains why mammography screening is unlikely to be effective today. All health professionals and members of the public will find these revelations disturbingly illuminating. It will radically transform the way healthcare policy makers view mammography screening in the future. 'If Peter Gotzsche did not exist, there would be a need to invent him ...It may still take time for the limitations and harms of screening to be properly acknowledged and for women to be enabled to make adequately informed decisions. When this happens, it will be almost entirely due to the intellectual rigour and determination of Peter Gotzsche.' From the Foreword by Iona Heath, President, RCGP 'If you care about breast cancer, and we all should, you must read this book. Breast cancer is complex and we cannot afford to rely on the popular media, or on information from marketing campaigns from those who are invested in screening. We need to question and to understand. The story that Peter tells matters very much.' From the Foreword by Fran Visco, President, National Breast Cancer Coalition

Download or read book User s Guide written by Tracy L. Scott and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mammography screening is effective in the early detection of breast cancer especially among women 50 years and older. Detection and treatment of breast cancer at an early stage of disease can reduce mortality and medical care costs. For women aged 50 and older, mammography screening done every 1 to 2 years, followed by appropriate treatment for women who test positive, can decrease breast cancer mortality by up to 30%. Based on past research on mammography interventions, The Prudential Center for Health Care Research (PCHCR) has identified steps that can be taken to increase mammography rates, and has put together the tools that you will need to choose and implement intervention strategies. These tools, and a detailed discussion of the steps, are contained in: The Manual of Intervention Strategies to Increase Mammography Rates (Resource Manual), by Faye L. Wong (CDC). A User's Guide has been designed to assist you in utilizing the Resource Manual. It is Prudential HealthCare's priority to increase mammography screening rates among eligible members of the plan. The goal of the User's Guide and the Resource Manual is to assist you in increasing the mammography screening rates among the eligible members of your health plan. The Resource Manual is a source of basic information on mammography and the intervention strategies and tools that health plans may use to help increase the screening rates. The User's Guide outlines major points from the Resource Manual, and will help you find the information in the larger manual that is most relevant for your needs. The manuals are designed to be user-friendly, practical and adaptable to the needs and capacity of different health plans. Together with the resources suggested in the manuals, a health plan will have access to the basic information needed to successfully plan, implement and evaluate the effectiveness of mammography intervention strategies. There are three major steps involved in designing and implementing an intervention to increase mammography screening rates. To develop a successful intervention strategy, it is very important that you complete all three steps together. The best way to use this manual is to read each of the steps and decide which option or combination of options best suits your health plan.
