Do mammograms really help?

Asked by skfinkel (13537points) January 2nd, 2008

Beyond the party line, has the incidence of breast cancer deaths actually gone down? Are the cancers found in mammograms from which women survive different from the ones they find from which women don’t survive? Are we just finding lots of small things that would take many years to develop and not really kill vs. the killer ones that grow like mad?
