A study published in the British Medical Journal confirms an earlier, highly controversial finding by the Cochrane Database Review (2009), which concluded that breast screenings are likely causing more harm than good.¹

Published last month (Dec. 2011) and titled "Possible net harms of breast cancer screening: updated modeling of Forrest report," its authors concluded:  "This analysis supports the claim that the introduction of breast cancer screening might have caused net harm for up to 10 years after the start of screening."
