FTA - "Yet younger women have a much higher risk of being harmed from the tests. That's not because the procedures themselves are dangerous, although they can be painful and do expose women to low levels of radiation. Instead, women are at risk from false alarms, also known as "false positives," which occur when mammograms produce suspicious findings in women who are really cancer-free. These women may experience additional pain, expense and worry because of additional scans and biopsies."

I guess the best way to avoid these 'false positives' would be to never go to a doctor or have a screening. I would think that a little pain, expense and worry would be better that not detecting cancer. But in the Obama world, if cancer is never detected and treated, think how much money could be saved to insure the illegals and other dregs of society.
