  1. Please see Orac’s (as usual, massively verbose) take on this subject. Bear in mind that breast cancer is his research topic.

    Also bear in mind that not long ago he lost a relative to breast cancer.

  2. D.C.,

    Do you have a link to Orac on the subject, or useful keywords? I did a couple of quick searches and got nothing.

  3. She doesn’t address the issue of false positives, although offhand, it looks like this technology would be less prone to them.

  4. OMENS OF DEATH: the end of atheism – only the blind and deaf can deny it… an example and warning of the fate of those who try to divide people….At least we’re on the same page…Serves Em Right, eh, Randi….
