RE: Breast Cancer in Man?

in #health7 years ago

This is good information to be reminded of, @felixrodriguez! I find it interesting that it is recommended to avoid exposure to radiation, and diagnosis for men does not include mammography. For women, we are being told to get mammograms every year or two after a certain age. If men's breast cancer can be detected without mammography, why wouldn't women be better off using those same diagnostic tests? I can't help but wonder whether mammography "discovers" so many cases of breast cancer because the proceedure itself is causing cancers that might otherwise be contained by the body's own immune system if it had only been left undisturbed by compression and radiation.

What are your thoughts?
Cheers!
