About one of every three Americans will develop some form of cancer during his or her lifetime.  Despite these grim statistics, doctors have made great progress in understanding the biology of cancer cells, and they have already been able to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.  But instead of just waiting for new breakthroughs, you can do a lot to protect yourself right now.  Screening tests can help detect malignancies in their earliest stages, but you should always be alert for symptoms of the disease.

Triple negative breast cancer is an aggressive form of breast cancer accounting for 10-20% of breast cancers. Triple-negative breast cancers tend to grow and spread more quickly than other types of breast cancer and can return after treatment. Because of this, this type of breast cancer is considered to be more aggressive than other forms of breast cancer. Research shows that some people have a greater chance of developing triple negative breast cancer if they are subject to certain risk factors. And like other types of breast cancer, catching triple negative breast cancer early through routine cancer screening can help improve prognosis.

Join us as we talk with Dr. Jenn Simmons who expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of mammography in actually saving lives. Simmons argues that mammograms aren't impacting mortality and often lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of cancers that may never cause harm during a patient's lifetime. This overdiagnosis can result in unnecessary treatments that have their own risks and side effects.

Listen in as part of our medical skepticism series as Dr. Simmons highlights the need for improved education and awareness about the limitations and potential harms of mammography, as well as the benefits, to help women make more informed decisions about their breast health care.

S4E18: Do mammograms actually save lives?

When found early, breast cancer can often be treated successfully.  In fact, 90-97% of patients with early-stage breast cancer are alive and well even 10 or 15 years after treatment.  But survivorship is complex and can bring new challenges.  Survivorship means something different to everyone.  Some patients feel they’re survivors from day one.  It is also very personal and can mean more than just a year mark in a patient’s cancer experience.

In this episode, Dr. Enam Abood delves deep into understanding colon cancer - an unfolding health concern in our society marked by increasing life expectancy for all ages and steady medical advancements.
