A short interview-style YouTube video (Keeping Abreast) featuring Jenn Simmons, MD and Dr. Jeffrey Dach discussing whether screening mammography affects survival. The speakers argue that while the Jotoburg mammography clinical trial (published in 2003) reported a 20% reduction in breast-cancer-specific mortality, it showed no reduction in all-cause mortality, and they assert that no study demonstrates reduced all-cause mortality from screening mammography.

Questions this video answers

2003

20% reduction

No — they stated there was no reduction in all-cause mortality

No — the speakers assert there is no study showing such a reduction

This has become an issue of morality. We know that screening with mammogram does not impact survival. It just doesn't.
Yeah. I mean, the study that we look at shows that is the Jotoburg mammography clinical trial, which was published in 2003. They found a 20% reduction in mortality from breast cancer. However, there was no reduction in all cause mortality in that study. And the fact of the matter is there, there is no study showing reduction in all cause mortality utilizing screening mammography.
