Anthony B. Miller, Canadian Emeritus Professor of Epidemiology:"It is time to recognize that breast-cancer screening does not save lives — and to focus on the strategies that will."

Anthony B. Miller, Canadian Emeritus Professor of Epidemiology:
" Efforts to develop new, more sensitive screening tests are thus likely to do more harm than good, as they increase the rate of over-diagnosis, without improving outcomes among women with aggressive cancers. What breast-cancer patients really need are tests that identify the risk that the disease actually poses, as well as new, lifesaving treatments. It is time to recognize that breast-cancer screening does not save lives — and to focus on the strategies that will."
