The best medical tool for detecting breast cancer is being driven to extinction by outrageous lawsuits, putting millions of women at risk. A practising radiologist confronts the legislative and legal tangles strangling breast-cancer screening today and argues for reforms to our legal and healthcare systems. Early detection of breast cancer can make the difference between life and death - and mammography is the best diagnostic tool available today.
