Résumé

Every year, the month of October is decked out in pink and countless posters calling for a crusade against breast cancer through mammography. Why such a desire on the part of public health officials, doctors, associations and laboratories? Are women really well informed about the risks they run by undergoing such screening? And do the benefits they are led to believe really exist? Outraged by the obstinacy of gynaecologists in imposing mammograms on her, Rachel Campergue conducted her own investigation.
What she discovered was appalling. The authorities are infantilizing women and promoting confusion between prevention and screening. Doctors do not have the adequate knowledge to guarantee that the consent they obtain from their patients is indeed "informed". As for the associations, they are agents of a lucrative business that primarily benefits the manufacturers of healthcare products. The conclusion of this abundant, precise and not without humor, work is final: a cancer detected by mammography does not equal a life saved, and if you choose to have one every two years, do so with full knowledge of the facts.
