237. What you need to know about Mammograms and Alternative Cancer Treatment Options with Investigative Journalist Megan Smith

More than 1 million breast biopsies are performed every year in the US... And 75-80% of those yield benign outcomes. As many as 1 out of 4 of those breast tissue biopsies are then diagnosed incorrectly as positive for cancer. For one woman saved, as many as 10 receive unnecessary treatment including chemotherapy, radiation or mastectomies. What is the common denominator? Answer: the mammogram. Many women are already uncomfortable with mammograms... without even knowing the risks of complying with the faulty screening tactic. Tune in to learn about the problems with mammograms, alternative screening strategies, holistic cancer prevention and effective lifestyle tips for breast and whole-body wellness. Megan Smith holds a Master's degree in biology, and currently works as a documentary filmmaker and freelance investigative journalist. Megan was the first to report on the inaccuracy of Lyme's disease testing for The Washington Post, and wrote, produced and directed both of her two documentaries on cancer.
