Breast Cancer听Screening 10听Jul 2009
Latest research raises questions over听breast screening

One in three breast cancers detected by mammogram screening may actually be harmless, a study has suggested. New research from Denmark听is based on statistical analysis and no-one yet has explained what does a doctor actually see on a mammogram that causes concern.听At what point is a biopsy neccesary? And what advice do experts听give, based on what they discover, about whether you might need a lumpectomy, a mastectomy, radiotherapy, chemotherapy or nothing?

Jenni is joined by Lester Barr; consultant surgical oncologist at the Genesis Breast Cancer Prevention Centre.
