Regular mammography does not decrease but increases the number of annual cases of breast cancer diagnosis, followed by a less painful for the ladies mastectomy.

According to data provided by Norwegian researchers, from the beginning of the use of mammography for breast cancer in the mid-1990s of the last century the number of cases, followed by a mastectomy, has increased significantly.

As counted specialists for women who were mammograms, the risk of breast amputation because of developing breast cancer increases by almost 31 percent, compared to their peers who abstain from the passage of this diagnostic procedure.
