Dr. Nina S. Vincoff emphasizes that while breast cancer cannot be prevented, mammograms empower women by detecting cancers early, making them easier to treat. This proactive approach not only improves survival rates but also minimizes the need for more aggressive interventions like chemotherapy or mastectomy. Early detection through mammograms can significantly decrease the risk of dying from breast cancer, making the screening a crucial step in women's health management.
Dr. Laurie Margolies stresses the importance of not letting fear prevent women from getting mammograms, urging them simply to 'Just come! Don't be afraid!' She highlights tragic cases where women avoid screenings and allow symptoms to escalate until they face severe conditions requiring emergency care. This underscores the necessity for women to be proactive about their breast health and to recognize that screenings can save lives.
