-short; 44.900 women with mammography vs 44.900 women with #only# breast examination.

WITH MAMMOGRAMS
WITHOUT MAMMOGRAMS
44,925 women
received breast exams
and mammograms
44,910 women
received breast exams
3,250 women
had diagnoses
with breast cancer
3,133 women
had diagnoses
with breast cancer
500 women died
from breast cancer
505 women died
from breast cancer
The death rate from breast cancer was the same in both groups, but 1 in 424 women who had mammograms received unnecessary cancer treatment, including surgery, chemotheraphy and radiation.
