Stage 0 breast cancer, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a non-invasive cancer where abnormal cells have been found in the lining of the breast milk duct. Some research finds that treatment of this cancer CAUSES later cancer.
Also there's research indicating that women w dense breasts ought to avoid mammograms w the pressure that can smash cancer cells causing dissemination. Thermography is ok instead.
The omega-6 fats found in "vegetable" oils (seed oils) is thought by many alternative med practitioners to be toxic; the animal fats that have been a part of our diet for millennia are thought to be better. I've not looked into the research for this, if any.
Please, do not promote thermography. It's really unscientific. I've been working as a breast radiologist for 30 years. The treatment of DCIS is surgery and radiotherapy. They do not promote any cancer.
Mammography is a very reliable diagnostic method. It give you radiation dose less than a longhaul flight.
Thank you. I very much doubt that there are many. All breast cancers diagnosed in our local area come through my clinic. We diagnosed roughly 300 cancers a year. I've been in this area for 7 years. For this period of time we had 2 patients who refused treatment. Both died. One patient had a thermography before coming to us. She had cancer. The thermography was negative.
Regarding mammography, there does seem to be some controversy. Am
"Overdiagnosis is commonplace, representing 20% or more of all breast cancers among women invited to screening and 30-50% of screen-detected cancers. Overdiagnosis leads to overtreatment and inflicts considerable physical, psychological and economic harm on many women. Overdiagnosis has also exerted considerable disruptive effects on the interpretation of clinical outcomes expressed in percentages (instead of rates) or as overall survival (instead of mortality rates or stage-specific survival). Rates of radical mastectomies have not decreased following the introduction of screening and keep rising in some countries (e.g. the United States. . . ."
Yes, we have a problem with overdiagnosis. However there've been some improvements with this. We no longer operate on women with B3 lesions. We do vacuum assisted excision.
I am not going to talk about the thermography, as it's completely useless.
Elena, I was referring to thermography as an imaging tool, not a treatment:
From a mainstream link:
"Disadvantages of thermography: The problem with the thermography test is that it is difficult to distinguish the cause of the increase in heat. The warm part of the breast may be a sign of breast cancer, but it may also indicate a non-cancerous condition such as mastitis
"Moreover, some websites claim thermography can find breast cancer years before it would be detected through other methods, and they have unproven claims about improved detection of cancer in dense breasts. The FDA is not aware of any evidence that supports these claims."
Unfortunately, we all know that there are many instances where the FDA & other mainstream medicine doesn't advocate for our health.
An example that comes to mind is that aldosterone treats tinnitus. FDA has no problem w US docs prescribing it & Canadian compounding pharmacies shipping the bio-identical hormone to the patient's residence. However, they forbid it to be compounded or manufactured in the US-- presumably because they're protecting
a prednisone-like drug made by Big Pharma as an alternative. (has the same down-side symptoms as prednisone)

Treatment? Surgery, radiation? Estrogen suppression medication?

I respect your opinion, but there are many who disagree with you on almost all counts.

Mammography screening: A major issue in medicine

You may be right about thermography-- certainly nothing I've studied in depth.

When I want an official opinion, I will refer to Dr. Falsie.
radiation doesn't promote cancer?
