The Dre Dominique Synnott, surgeon oncologist and chief of the clinic of the breast of the hospital of the Sacred Heart of Montreal, are indignant of the recent recommendation of the Canadian Society of the cancer on the autoexamen of the breasts.
The organism announced lately that it didn’t incite the women anymore to practice the autoexamen. This technique would not permit to save of lives, would indicate the studies published on this day.
According to the Dre Synnott, it is at the very least about a turning around unused on behalf of this organism that extolled, during numerous years, the kindness of the autoexamen of the breasts. ” This change of position is unused since it is based on a published research 10 years ago (in 1997, in Shanghai), and that causes the controversy” again, she/it affirms. According to her, no new data has been published, since, to this topic.
The Canadian Society of the cancer estimates that the clinical exam and the mammography are of better techniques of tracking of the breast cancer. The surgeon agrees with this affirmation, but she insists on the importance for the women on really knowing their breasts. ” To suggest of more to practice the autoexamen of the breasts, it is a little as if one didn’t recommend to curl his/her/its seat belt by car anymore since the cars are now equipped with inflatable cushions! “, she/it illustrates.
According to her, the Canadian Society of the cancer fears that the words ” autoexamen of the breasts” frighten the women. ” It would be necessary to recall, she/it adds, that the fear of the words will always be less dangerous than the cancer himself. ” She/it advises the women therefore of ” to pass besides the recommendation of the Canadian Society of the cancer as she/it is formulated.”
