Researcher retracts preliminary conclusions on mammograms
The Canadian study author Anthony Miller retracts earlier claims that regular mammograms raised breast cancer fatalities in women aged 40 to 49. New cancer registry data show mortality in the 40 to 49 control group approaching the screening group, and the excess deaths are not statistically significant. Miller cites news reports and defends the study's unpublished data, while radiologists question the exam technique and two advisers resign.
