Breast Cancer: Do Blanket Screenings Do More Harm Than Good?

This documentary questions whether blanket breast cancer screening does more harm than good by testing all women rather than only those with symptoms. It examines evidence suggesting such programs may not reduce deaths as much as hoped, while leading to overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment. Through experts and patients, the film explores a genuinely contested area of medicine. It is a careful, provocative look at the science of screening. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
