Everyone wants a cure for breast cancer, right? President Nixon signed the National Cancer Act in 1971. In 1983 the first ‘Race for the Cure’ was introduced and in 1991 the pink ribbon ideology was introduced. And everyone drank the Kool-Aid. Since that time, depending on who one reads, there have been between 3 to 5 million papers published on cancer. 50 years ago everyone thought that if we had these huge cancer centers and mammogram machines on every corner, we could put the devastation from breast cancer in the history books. We were wrong.
MedStar Health recently did a survey and found for women over 40, 59% said they were not going to follow recommended guidelines for mammography and 23 percent said they never had a mammogram. What’s the problem? Women are afraid and angry that after all this research, if the system finds something, they will suffer physically, psychologically, and financially. There are a burgeoning number of women who refuse mammography who let their breast cancer grow out of their skin because they are so afraid. And worse, while mortality rates have declined, the number of yearly deaths (in the U.S.) continues to rise now surpassing 43,000.
So, what’s the sin here? The sin is the medical-industrial complex now owns at least 75% of all doctors in the country. The breast cancer cabal refuses to acknowledge any alternatives to the slash-poison-burn approach and refuses any head-to-head clinical trial, the result of which might eliminate surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. In doing so countless women continue to suffer. Moral Distress among oncologists and surgeons is prevalent. Moral distress occurs when individuals are forced to act against their personal morals and beliefs due to internal or external constraints. This manuscript will explore examples of bad science prevalent today.
