New study published in the British Medical Journal on mammography and mammograms
02/11/2014
The study covers 90,000 women over 25 years with women randomly assigned to two groups one with breast exams only and the other with breast exams and mammograms. The death rate for the two groups was almost identical. About 1 in 424 women are treated for breast cancer when the test is incorrect. Some initial cancer signs also turn out to be benign such as in the milk duct.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
