Mammography Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Mammography

Rating: 5.0


My conviction that,
for the first 10 years,
breast cancer deaths are
increased in women
age 40–49 years
who receive
mammography screening
is evidence-based.

Which means, in plain
and crucial language
that a group has now,
after much investigation
been identified as more,
much more vulnerable,
mammography does cause
more cancers than it detects.
Be careful, my beauties.
