[0:00]" A lot of people in medicine this morning are buzzing a lot of people outside the field are confused after the recommendations of a new federal task force. That suggests that women. Don't need to do self breast exams because they don't prove whether a woman has cancer or not and the that they shouldn't get mammograms annually starting at age forty they can wait another decade men get and every other year. Because the science just doesn't add up. From -- farmers breast cancer institute this morning. Doctor Judy Garber -- that he oncologist joins a starting Garber the what's the bigger farmers position on these recommendations which cool completely counter. To what the cancer society has been a proselytizing about for years."

[0:41]" Well in nineteen -- and there's still a lot of data about screening and a lot of confusion. Now maybe there's more confusion but. I'm -- ramp are still the best technology that we have for package detection and we have excellent -- that -- principal life that would should not be confused about battleground. As a fact of life. However they dated for women under age fifty is. Can -- I think that. Not all we need to mannequins every year certainly women who have more risk he could talk to their doctors the full picture at the other -- like. When an over 75 will need to talk to their doctors about whether they need to continue the program. If -- known now for several years that breast self excellence has not consistently found early breast cancer. And most of the propriety kept stopped recommending strongly although we all Jeff Caplan be familiar with their --"

[2:32]" I think they've dubbed project to one -- small extra. Risk of radiation. No one likes extra radiation and the other small risk is that the more he -- the -- you find it will be some extra biopsies done -- benign lesions. And from anxiety in -- in my years in that decade. I didn't difficult for women who are concerned about breast cancer to be sure that they shouldn't be watched closely during that time and that's why they're gonna have to talk to their doctors."

[2:59]" What would you say new world woman who did not have a family history of a breast cancer or the genetic mutation which suggests the likelihood of developing breast cancer. Who. Was tested when she was 42. Without any other. Indications and was found to have. A cancerous lump what are we would he tell that woman -- she's lucky that she took the advice of the American Cancer Society enough this new task force."

[3:26]" you are asking tough questions this morning. I think. There certainly are breast cancer that will happen between forty and fifty and one question how good we are finding those when you're really an increase stripped. And those women prank your mammogram and larger you're right is -- not so good at that. But I think we're we're gonna have to do the best we can. And they are neutral coming along in the Arab prescribed medicine our addiction to -- there are other ways to look at risk economic graphic density. Which does -- require at least one mammograms. -- I think we are getting better at. I wish we are we here we have to deal which went into mechanical and lift aircraft -- it is not a perfect world. But we will have to do the best with what we have as we all we want that -- hasn't changed. That group of women forty to 49. Those women who feel they need a mammogram at governing our troops with their doctors decide that that's the direction toward."

[4:38]" I tried to figure into doubt pride itself stand I think -- blog has been promoting something women can do themselves become familiar with their bodies. And if they find what they're concerned about going have it checked out -- conflict reasonable -- site. But it is all it true that studies that have looked very carefully at this show that. Many breast cancer as -- not be found that way that we want to find breast cancers before you can feel them that's what mammograms are for and Celtics fan. Will not do that obviously -- on a population basis off camera not identify early breast cancer where we want them. It is. Still. True that women find their own breast cancers whether Beijing vetted for example Mark Pratt and finding -- aren't well -- I can't see what we wouldn't encourage women to be familiar with their bodies all their bodies including their. For women have to do annual or monthly I'm sorry to do monthly. Celtics -- and make this something that causes anxiety which it does where many women who have lobbied fast. That is not something that we consist of."
