Cancer, caused by the unnecessary radiation exposure,

How does one determine the cancer was caused by “unnecessary radiation exposure” from mammography, as opposed to any other factor?

The early stages of cancer to virtually any part of the body go undetected until some sort of test to check for their presence is run. (The exceptions to that *may* be for the male genetalia and sometimes the breast, where odd lumps felt first by the patient prompt the intrusive/painful tests that confirm their presence and nature.) That detection before cancer has metastisized or otherwise affected other organs increases one’s odds for survival is understood, no?

Thing is, I’m seeing an awful lot of people posting here who are singing the praises of the colonoscopy. They’re ALIVE and happy their loved ones are too, or are rueful that their loved ones did not get tested and thus are no longer drawing breath.

Uncomfortable as it is, I beleive I’ll keep current with enduring my delicate parts being flattened repeatedly in a bench vise ... though the tech confirms it was indeed a man who invented that particular torture device. :o)
