In this episode Dr. Tolga Ozmen, of Foundation Surgery and Massachusetts General Hospital, separates fact from fiction when it comes to breast cancer and breast cancer screening.
Dr. Ozmen addresses some of the most common myths, including whether family history is the main risk factor, whether mammograms can cause cancer, and whether breast cancer always presents as a lump. He also explains how dense breast tissue affects screening, why men need to be aware of their risks, and the importance of starting annual mammograms at age 40 for most women.
If you’ve ever been confused by conflicting information about breast cancer, this episode is full of clarity, reassurance, and expert guidance.
