Breast Cancer Prevention

Repeated concern over the absence of prevention in US "health care", and its glaring absence in the debate over "reform", cannot be repeated often enough.  In the case of breast cancer this absence is particularly upsetting. Well, the reason has finally seen the light of publication in an established magazine. Hurrah for the following:

The World's Wealthiest "Nonprofit" Institution

Samuel S. Epstein M. D.

Excerpt: The American Cancer Society is fixated on damage control— diagnosis and treatment— and basic molecular biology, with indifference or even hostility to cancer prevention. This myopic mindset is compounded by interlocking conflicts of interest with the cancer drug, mammography, and other industries. The "nonprofit" status of the Society is in sharp conflict with its high overhead and expenses, excessive reserves of assets and contributions to political parties. All attempts to reform the Society over the past two decades have failed; a national economic boycott of the Society is long overdue.
