Reid refutes this claim by presenting Wynder's discovery that saved millions of people from contracting tobacco-induced cancer. However, in the case of a mammogram that doesn't seem to save as many lives as expressed by the other 5 surviving women in the Canadian study, preventative care isn't worth it. In fact, 10% of all men treated surgically for prostate cancer experience impotence or urinary incontinence due to false diagnoses and radiation poisoning. Additionally, a New York Times article states that one in 1,000 women who begin screening in their 40s, two in their 50s, and three in their 60s, out of 1,000, will avoid a breast cancer-related death. I believe these statistics are concrete reasons why private, for-profit companies should stop spending on preventative mammography care. To avoid dying from a single breast cancer, 2,500 women would have to be screened over 10 years. Wynder's discovery may have saved billions of lives, but mammography tests do not dispute the lives saved expressed through statistics
