When I get it I would like to know asap because I would much rather try radiation pellets than be operated on...my Dad had the operation on his when it was almost the size of a baseball,he survived,but dam that's radical surgery.

This article seems to be written by someone who does not want to pay for the procedure...insurance company influence?

I looked up U.S. Preventive Services Task Force and they have impressive qualifications. But where the study originated leaves me skeptical. You have patients in VA Hospitals with Chemical Warfare Exposures which it seems could mess up the accuracy of such a study as related to the general population. I would say PSE and digital testing saves lives. Mammograms aren't 100% accurate for women either but I don't hear calls for saying they aren't needed because they may not be accurate. They can miss or give false positives as well.
