## Resource

What if everything you have been told about mammograms is wrong? In this episode, I sit down again with Dr. Jenn Simmons, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, to break down what QT imaging actually is, why mammograms have no proven survival benefit, and what every woman needs to know about breast cancer screening right now. After a decade of mammograms and two breast cancer scares, I switched to QT scanning two years ago, and I am never going back. We cover the science behind QT technology, why DCIS is being overtreated, and what you can do today to prevent a breast cancer diagnosis, not just screen for one. What you will learn: Why the American College of Physicians says mammograms have no proven survival benefit How QT imaging differs from traditional ultrasound and MRI Why DCIS is not cancer and why it is being overtreated How QT measures doubling time to avoid unnecessary biopsies What the tears test is and how it detects breast cancer risk at home About Dr. Jenn Simmons: Dr. Jenn Simmons is an integrative oncologist, founder of PerfeQTion™ Imaging, and author of The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer. After 17+ years as Philadelphia's top breast surgeon, she now helps women prevent and heal from breast cancer using a root-cause approach.
