"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.

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