Finally, there's the kind of  cancer you were thinking of.

Yeah, that one hasn't reached the finish line yet.

The problem is mammograms    can't tell the difference

But if there's even a tiny chance it'll save my life,

it does seem worth it  for a harmless test.

Unfortunately, mammograms aren't harmless.

This happens to about  one out of ten women,

the more likely you are to get a false positive.

Over half of women in the US who receive   annual mammograms

will experience a false positive within a decade.

But, okay, sometimes   they do find cancer, right?

The screening could   just find one of those   harmless cancers

And over diagnosis   can lead to overtreatment.

Since mammograms can't tell the difference between these types

of cancers, we recommend serious    treatments for all of them.

And that can result   in women getting treatments

So, you're telling me I could  have that lazy cancer

that would never have hurt me, but still be told to get chemo?

Taken together, given the false positives, overdiagnosis,

overtreatment, instead of rushing in to get screening,

You know, I used to get  my prostate checked
