Mammography is as important as Chemotherapy Fight Against Cancer

The routine mammograms are as important as the hormone therapy and chemotherapy in the reduction of deaths from breast cancer, revealed today a study released by the magazine 'New England Journal of Medicine'.

The investigation of doctors of Oncology Center Anderson of the University of Texas went to the step of doubts raised by some researchers on the true value of these routine tests, especially recommended for women over 40 years.

Breast cancer is the second type of cancer more important that affects women in the United States, after lung cancer, according to the Society of Cancer of the United States.

That Society estimated that this year in the US recorded more than 211,000 cases with 40,870 deaths from breast cancer, whose detection rose from the 1980S when he began to apply the diagnosis through mammography.

The study, based in seven statistical analysis, showed that mortality from breast cancer has been reduced from those years from 23 to 7 percent.

Moreover, according to the study led by the oncologist Donald Berry, the Oncology Center Anderson, chemotherapy and hormonal therapy reduced the mortality rate from 21 to 12 percent. Also, the combination of mammograms together with another type of therapies decreased mortality from 38 to 25 percent, noted the study.

The seven statistical analysis concluded that the decline in the mortality rate from breast cancer has its origin in a combination of mammography and therapy, without restrictions mutual', noted the oncologist in the study.

The mammography would have no benefit if he was not continues with treatment, including the surgery. And this treatment has the ability to be more effective if the cancer is detected in its early stages through the mammogram.
