Breast Cancer Myths Debunked: Better Mammography Available
Breast cancer specialists have debunked some common breast cancer myths, as reported in a recent article on Medical News Today. Among the myths:
- I’m too young to worry about breast cancer.
- Radiation therapy is dangerous.
- My mammogram was normal, so I don’t have to worry about breast cancer.
Digital mammography, a type of mammogram that stores its images on a computer, allows for better screening of women under age 50, according to a study conducted by the National Cancer Institute. The technique also produces less radiation than a film mammogram.
