?Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography? (2013), by Peter Gøtzsche and Karsten Jørgensen

چکیده
?Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography? is a Cochrane systematic review originally published by Peter Gøtzsche and Karsten Jørgensen in 2001 and updated multiple times by 2013. In the 2013 article, the authors discuss the reliability of the results from different clinical trials involving mammography and provide their conclusions about whether mammography screening is useful in preventing deaths from breast cancer. Mammography is an X-ray technique used to detect abnormalities in breast tissue, such as breast cancer, which affects about twelve percent of women in the world and has a significant risk of mortality. The authors concluded that mammography screenings reduced breast cancer mortality, but resulted in problems such as overdiagnosis and overtreatment of screened women. The article ?Screening for Breast Cancer with Mammography? contributed to the then ongoing controversy about the usefulness of mammography and provided accessible information about mammograms in seven languages.
