Who are these scientists - obviously not a scientist that had a routine annual mammogram (such as myself) at age 54 and was diagnosed with stage 2 - estrogen +/progesterone + and her2 neu breast cancer. Cancer was 2 cm in size - could not be felt by myself or the doctor - only detected because of a routine annual mammogram visit.

How absurd!!!!
