142: Mammograms Don't Save Lives And the Data Has Known It for Decades

In this solo episode, Dr. Jenn Simmons delivers a five-alarm wake-up call on breast cancer screening. The American College of Physicians just dropped new guidelines and the radiology world is furious, not because the science is wrong, but because it isn't on their side. Dr. Jenn breaks down what the data actually shows, why mammography's survival benefit has been a statistical illusion for decades, and what real preventive screening looks like.
She also takes on DCIS, collagen fears, and the question every woman with a breast cancer history is afraid to ask about hormones.
Every woman deserves this information before she makes a decision, not after.
What You'll Learn
- Why DCIS is not breast cancer and what the data says about over treating it
- What the new ACP mammography screening guidelines say and why the radiology world responded with opinion instead of evidence
- How lead time bias and over diagnosis have made mammography look like a lifesaver when it isn't
- What the Wisdom Trial revealed about personalized breast cancer screening and why the results make annual mammogram guidelines indefensible
- What preventive breast cancer screening actually looks like without radiation, compression, or harm
- Why collagen supplementation has no association with breast cancer risk or recurrence
- Why bioidentical hormone replacement therapy is not off the table after a breast cancer diagnosis.
- Why you need to tread the root cause and treat the tumor
