Did you know that breast cancer screening, while life-saving for many, can sometimes lead to overdiagnosis—detecting cancers that would never cause harm in a woman’s lifetime?

In this eye-opening video, we explore the complex issue of breast cancer overdiagnosis, a phenomenon tied to routine mammography screening.

Learn what overdiagnosis means: it’s not a misdiagnosis or error, but the identification of slow-growing or non-progressive tumors that might never become symptomatic or life-threatening.

We dive into studies showing that estimates of overdiagnosis vary widely—from 1% to over 50% of screen-detected cases—depending on factors like age, study methods, and screening practices.

For example, research suggests that 15–25% of breast cancers detected in women aged 50–74 through mammography might be overdiagnosed, with the risk increasing significantly in older women, where up to 50% of cases in women over 85 could fall into this category.

We’ll also examine the potential harms, including unnecessary treatments like mastectomies, chemotherapy, and radiation, which can lead to physical, emotional, and financial burdens.

While mammography has reduced breast cancer mortality by about 20–35% in screened populations, the trade-off of overdiagnosis raises critical questions: Are we over-medicalizing healthy women?

How can we balance the benefits of early detection with the risks of overtreatment?

Drawing on data from major studies, including those from the U.S., Norway, Denmark, and the UK, we’ll challenge the narrative that “early detection always saves lives” and highlight the need for better risk stratification, patient education, and research to identify which cancers truly require intervention.

Posts on social media platforms like X suggest public concern and skepticism about overdiagnosis, with some claiming millions of women may have undergone unnecessary treatments—but we’ll critically assess these claims, noting they’re often anecdotal or lack rigorous evidence.
