@I Am Not A Virus I dont know what to say to that.
Just re-read until you got it.
I talked about a disease that isnt well-known.
Yeah...
This is a tough one for me. My wife found a lump at 35yo. The first doctor we saw said "you're too young for breast cancer" and sent us home. We went to a different doctor a couple of days later who sent us for full screening and they immediately took a biopsy which showed a tumor. This was removed a couple of weeks later to discover it was a grade 3 triple negative tumor, the worst kind. Had we listened to the first doctor, my wife would likely be dead now.
Really amazing how uncaring some medical professionals are. It’s as though they’re just there to collect pay checks
@@MaySmithereenof course there’ll be doctors like that, but the environment of having to be able to diagnosis so many issues and the stress it produces is probably what’s causing many in the medical industry to lose their patience and empathy, it’s quite a toxic environment for the workers, not to mention the guilt when a patient dies and you feel you could’ve done something. You should research about the stresses of medical school and mental effects some doctors face, it’s saddening
@@michaelfoshee8331 time to evolve. To become healers not an industry
@@ivonned32 Exactly. The medical profession isn't so much about the people and the community, as it is about business - and that's the truth.
The sad reality is that cancer sucks and there's no good way to deal with it. For everyone like your wife who really did have a problem earlier than most, there's going to be 3 or 4 who seem to, but don't really, have cancer. And the consequences of cancer treatment can, ironically, greatly increase your likelihood of getting cancer.
Cancer treatment sucks, and while he made the wrong call, your doctor likely had good intentions and reasons to make that call.
In the end, what matters is that your wife is alright.
So, after watching almost 10 of these videos i can safely say that everything is just a huge scam
Mammograms are not a scam, the point is that you shouldnt be seeking out a mammogram unecessarily. Only your physician can recommend a mammogram when it is indicated to do more good than harm.

Almost everything around us is just a Huge Legalized Scam.
Breathing is a lie here’s how
ACTUALLY....
Something they didnt say is mammograms can miss cancer entirely. My mom has had it 6 times and she noticed a tiny bump and the mammogram showed nothing so they used ultrasound which found it. Ultrasounds are much better and they give the doctors a better image of the breast tissue. Especially if your tissue is too dense.
Kathy Goodwin that's an interesting point. My mother had the opposite problem where neither she nor her doctors felt any tumors, but the mammogram found them. If she hadn't had gone in for her mammogram when she did I may not still have her today, or at the least we would not have been as fortunate as we are now
Was it a 2D or 3D mammogram? My mother currently has breast cancer and the only way they were able to detect it was using a 3D mammogram.
2D. This was in the 80s.
Kathy Goodwin so out of date info.....
Nope actually it happen to her an additional 4 times. The 5th and 6th time it had moved to her other breast and lung. If your breast tissue is too dense a traditional mammogram may not find anything because it literally can't see anything. Which is why they also use ultrasound and in the past ten years they map your breasts with CT scans to see if there are any changes. Plus when you have a mastectomy the mammogram doesn't do much if anything. All they can do is physical exams and biopsies. They still mammogram her remaining side but those missed the cancer when it moved to that side too. They only caught it because she has to also have ultrasounds. I have the same problem. My first mammogram they saw something did an ultra sound and there was nothing there went ahead and did another mammogram and decided that my breast where to dense also. So I have to get ultra sounds and ct mapping. Same for my sister.
"your friends run a 5k every year" lmao
GFmanaic or shave there head !! Too far ???
Way too far. People considered doing this for my mom, she said it'd be surreal and would freak her out. People don't want their loved ones to share in their suffering, they want them to be able to support them while continuing to live as normal a life as possible. If a woman has to wear a bandana or wig, the last thing they want is for everyone around them to be a reminder of what they lost.
GFmanaic Censor jokes oh my god! Please stop, I understand you've dealt with horrible situation, but making people pretend that it never even happened and make others believe so is MORE insulting.

You wouldn't give chemo from just a mammogram, you'd take a biopsy first.
Slevin Channel 1, stop spamming
2, how do you know about this sickness if it’s, so underfunded and I would assume it has a name and not just “Sickness”
Biopsy confirms cancer but not which type
Brenda Walton absolutely incorrect. Histological analysis can be carried out and the particular cancer identified.
Thats true, but it doesn't mean the video isn't.
@@brendawalton2518 genetic testing on the biopsy does
"i used to get prostate exams twice a week" damn Adam, you kinky...
|-O-|
Sounds like anal sex
I’m starting to think that he wasn’t worried about cancer…

My Mom had a false positive and that really got to her. She couldn't stop crying and that was rough to witness. Luckily, she doesn't have cancer and she's almost 60 and is in great health.
This video helped me so much. I have really bad anxiety attacks about getting illnesses and suddenly dying, one of those being cancer. So many sources say different things and only so much can help when you are up on Google at 3 A.M. obsessively researching so you can lull yourself to sleep. This put it in perspective for me. Thanks.
"This is an awful thing to win!"
Cancer, 2017.
I'm confused.... a mammogram isn't diagnostic for breast cancer, so before a doctor treats you, they should biopsy it so a pathologist can tell them what kind of breast cancer it is (slow, average, or aggressively growing). So why would any doctor treat them all the same???
What? That makes absolutely no sense. What? Why? How? Where did you come up with a message such as this?
I think this is tailored to Americans to stop them from going to a doctor...
I guess the jury is out until Adam ruins biopsies.
@@wentoneisendon6502 I think our healthcare system takes care of that by itself
@@iridescentvermillion it made sense to me?
A mammogram actually saved my granny from breast cancer. They caught it early so she didn’t have to go through much. However, we live in Britain and we only get mammograms when we’re about 50, as above that age is more likely you get it. We only get regular mammograms if breast cancer runs in the family.
Then your family runs a 5k every year, lol
My mom has been a mammography tech longer than I've been alive. And it's true mammograms cannot tell the difference between types of cancer, but a biopsy and pathology can.
Please don't forget that men can get breast cancer too❤
Alana Laprise yeah but breast cancer screening for man does not make sense. Man can go to the doctor if they feel something abnormal in their breasts.
My neighbour has a brest cancer. He went to the doctor but he told him that it isn't a cancer. Now it looks that it is too late and the doctors can't cure him. Just help him to live longer.
Thales Mendonça what?
but it's rare
Albert Nave say it to my dying neighbour.
1. Repeated screening with Mammogram is recommended early on just for high risk patients.
2. Mammogram is always followed up with a biopsy to determine the kind and extent of cancer we are dealing with, the video makes it seem like chemo/radiotherapy is started immediately after mammogram which is definitely not true.
3. Genetic assessment and hormone profiling is done before deciding on a treatment so not everyone goes for chemotherapy immediately after a mammogram.
I am not very sure about how overenthusiastic doctors and patients are in the US to get a mammogram but I get the point what Adam is trying to make. Ironically enough the video is itself misleading to a certain extent. Better question your doctor if you have doubt.
You're probably not wrong, but just think about WHEN you learned this. In the video it says that this was the recommendation until fairly recently (the source cited in the beginning was from 2016). So... you're probably not countering the arguments in the video as opposed to regurgitating information they've already addressed...
Udit Kumar for point 2. Yes a biopsy is the usual but even that may not tell if you have a lazy and therefore harmless cancer that has stopped growing, you may be suggested to take chemo and/or radiation to ensure you eradicate a cancer that may no longer be a problem
THANK YOU!
(for bringing up the biopsy without going "oh this video is totally wrong because biopsies exist")
Eliza Almaguer I mean, I had a relative who went through this process and it was basically Find Lump > Get Lump Checked > Get Mammogram > Get Biopsy > Has Lump Removed and Tested > Further Surgery If Necessary > Genetic Testing to Determine Further Treatment > Further Treatment If Necessary (chemo, radiation, medication). That's like four steps in between that are completely left out.

Seriously!, Biopsies are the next step. Mammograms are just the first step of screening, any oncologist will list the steps and tell you not to jump to conclusions till all the data is in.
That was what I thought immediately. Surely if any suspicious growth is detected, standard procedure is to biopsy it to double-check what it is? My Mom had a growth detected through a mammogram; within two days they biopsied and found it was a fibrocyst, which is benign and non-cancerous. They still removed it anyway as it was apparently rather significant in size, but there was little of the stress or fear that came from thinking the worst.
@@Zzyzzyzzs Those are the easy ones to ignore the ones being referred to in the video as "lazy" cancer is likely carcinoma in situ essentially a malignant growth which hasnt invaded anywhere and may never transform to full blown cancer. The difficulty is that even with a biopsy you cannot tell which in situ's are likely to invade. As such there is a tendency to treat insitu earlier rather than wait, this is true for a number of other cancers too.
However mammograms are limited since they only detect calcification which is an indicator of cancer and not all breat cancer produce calcifications as such a number of cancers can be missed even with screening.
Yes, I know science words
@@someotherworldlybeing3167 I do too!
This video doesn't explain that Mamogram are screening test not diagnostic tests. Screening tests are less sensitive and don't offer a confirm diagnosis. You don't treat on the basis of screening tests. What it does get right is Mamograms can be dangerous, as all x-rays are, thats why they are recommended in Older ages , when chances increase for breast cancer. As for the type of Cancer I don't think any doctor who has passed med school will in his right mind treat a tumor without confirming that its malignant (the dangerous type).
There was a recent news story about a lady who discovered a lump in her breast. She went to her clinic, asked for a mammogram and was denied. The reason: she was too young. So she left and months later, noticed that the lump had grown. She went back and finally got her mammogram, but by that time, it had grown to stage 4 cancer.
I had 14 I guess and I put it off until I finally booked an appointment. They didn't tell me I was too young. Must be case to case
We always know about and talk about the fish that got away. Statistics are more rational e.g. 1/5 could be overdiagnosed.
Regardless, detection and treatment of BC has improved massively in the couple of decades.
Thanks for this video and the awareness attached to it. I lost my grandmother 4 years ago due to breast cancer. She was a fighter, and didn't let cancer take over her easily. But in the end it got the better of her. Miss you Grandma.
Well once again, thanks for this video College Humor
Wonder Why I'm so sorry for your loss. I love this show and the CollegeHumor channel, and it's nice to know that other people can find humor and happiness with them too. Best wishes to you and your family. I bet your Grandma's in heaven (if you believe in those things, my apologies if you do not). Rest in piece. I hope life goes well for you!
Wonder Why Was your grandma recommended chemo after just one mammogram screening??
Halapecia shaniqua Dude, they said nothing about that...they explained that Cancer, unfortunately, got the better of their Grandma. Did you even read their comment?
Wonder Why Sorry for your loss. Breast cancer actually runs in my family. So, we're always worried and have to watch out for it more than normal. My grandma had it, her either did, and my mom had a false positive, I believe. It can be pretty stressful.
Wonder Why so sorry for your loss.
Last night, I found a shorter version of this that concerned me. As I suspected, when I saw the whole segment, things were put into perspective. They had cut it off to make it sound like mammograms were bad in general.
I was surprised when my doctor told me the new requirements this year. I had asked about in the past, but I just kept putting it off.
I'm 37, and I had thought the recommended age for the first mammogram was still 40. So he looked at me kind of funny when I asked about it.
I did end up getting one, because I have an aunt who died of it at age 42. She was diagnosed at 37.
I feel like my breasts are lumpier than average, and i'm less confident of the information I get from self exams.
So I think getting one as a baseline was the right choice for me. I don't know if I'll get one two or three years from now or not. I'll have to go back to my doctor to decide.
But that was the benefit of getting one early. If something looks inconclusive, they can compare it to the previous mammogram where everything was OK. They can see what things had always been there, and what is new.
Well awareness campaigns for breast cancer as with most conditions give recommendations aimed at the majority of the population, those with known risk factors for any serious condition including a family history of that condition should always consult with their doctor to get the best advice for their circumstances as the advice may differ for those who are at higher risk as it changes the numbers when it comes to determining when the benefits outweigh the risks.
I think you did the right thing and am slightly confused why your doctor would look at you funny for asking about it given your family history. Very happy for you that everything was okay on your first one. In the video, before Adam even shows up, the doctor doesn't suggest the screening mammogram due to the patient's age, health, risk factors, and *family history.* Since you do have this family history (sorry for your loss), it's perfectly reasonable for a doctor to begin screening at a younger age. Take care & best wishes.

Ok: My mom is a breast cancer Dr., and I was recently looking through on of her presentations about this very subject; though you are correct about most of what you said there, you forgot one thing: 3D photos.
It's a new type of screening that will go through one millimeter scans of your breast, and will turn each photo into a video that you can watch, and check each frame for signs of cancer. This makes it so you can see cancers that would be invisible on a 2D mammogram.

"Your so sexy when u detect cancer".....thanks internet
There is this thing called a biopsy. It is more accurate at detecting types of cancers. No sane doctor would prescribe chemotherapy for someone because of a mammogram. They would probably suggest a follow up biopsy.
Duh, major duh. You find something then you analyze, kinda how medicine works and has for.....the last 20 millenia
more like, the last 1 century. before that, medicine was mostly pseudo-science and religion mixed together. Glad to live today and not then...
.
Noah Gregory Ya that does not fit the pushed narrative here lol
My mum had a mammogram (women 50+ get them every 3 years on the NHS in the UK for free). They found a small cancer lump, removed it, and then her treatment went before a panel of doctors who analysed her records, took 3 biopsies and sent a test to America to determine whether chemotherapy would help her. Only then did they recommend it. This video makes it seem like doctors who spot any abnormalities on a mammogram instantly pump all women who have them full of a standard chemotherapy drug without any kind of extensive testing or analysis. This video is incredibly misleading.
Dr. Mike did a reaction video which was very informative. I recommend watching it.
Same.
Link?
mfw when the team of "adam ruins everything" works together with the team of "kurzgesagt - in a nutshell".
(that animated middle part reminded me so much of them. I do wish those two teams working on a video together.)
Is it really fair to blame the screening for the overtreatment? I feel like someone would be better served to get the screening and investigate more deeply if the screening came back positive. We don't have to jump straight to chemo if the mamogram comes back positive do we?
the video mentions that false positives are extremely common but fails to mention that further testing is always done to rule out the possibility of a false positive- biopsies and other tests can confirm whether the abnormality found in the screening is benign or malignant, or if it's even cancer. literally no one finds an abnormality in a mammogram and decides to immediately begin chemotherapy. the video is right that there are lots of types of cancers with varying severity and it's hard to know how bad the cancer is even with many tests, but this shouldn't keep people from getting screened regularly, especially if they have a genetic predisposition to cancer.
Can you please provide a source for this? I looked it up already and found it to be true, but just asking for the other people searching the comments.
Kevin, the main thing is the guidelines were changed, moving the recommended baseline screening to a later age and reducing frequency. There has been a big shift to evidenced-based medicine using statistical analysis to evaluate all sorts of early guesses at appropriate screening or treatment options. This is a good thing and has little direct effect on the differential diagnosis process in response to a suspicious mammogram.
Kevin, you are missing the point. No cancer is diagnosed based on mammography alone. All (breast) cancers must be diagnosed with biopsy. All which was said on the video takes that into account.
Thales Mendonça I’m confused. The video does or does not say how that works?
Whenever she said mortality rate dropped significantly she showed the heart monitor going down like it was a good thing.
If that appeared on mine when I was in hospital, I'd be screaming bloody murder.
If it was going down by a big degree you wouldn't be screaming, cause that'd be up
I had a scary birth mark about two years ago and they removed it and sent it into lab for testing. It took 10 days to get the results and I could barely eat or sleep during that time. I did not have skin cancer, but that was horrifying. If you get tested you automatically start to think about what will happen if you have cancer, it's almost unavoidable.
my aunt was diagnosed with a false positive when she got a mammogram and she paid off loads of money to chemotherapy before they found out it was benign.
"and if you don't, your friends and family run a 5k every year."
Lol I love Adam ruins Everything 😂
"ACTUALLY..."
SIRiMAC Even though this video was really misleading and that's kinda shitty considering the topic at hand.
Everybody knows that several other tests are performed if the mammogram shows something suspicious.
Such as biopsies, MRI/CT scans as well as getting your blood work done and all that.
No one in the first world at least has ever been recommended serious treatments like chemo or mastectomy based off of one mammogram alone.

This video was terrible. Might as well be watching flat earthers.
Ottis show tends to portray one side of the story, accurately, but it leaves bits out that will make thier arguments weaker.
Why are you on all the vids I watch? You're on Tf2, CH, everything!!!
A real doctor here: Mamograph is just a SCREENING TEST. What does that mean? It means that if a "cancer" is detected by it, we run a lot of other tests in order to confirm it and determine wich type is it BEFORE we indicate any treatment or tell the patient that she has got cancer.
I am hypochondriac who is always obsessed and worried that even the tiniest symptom may be a sign of cancer. This video has put my mind a little bit more at ease.
Hey college humor love the channel your awesome and so funny love all the vids
Like, which Dr. would start a chemo therapy before getting a pathology diagnosis.
I like how informative these videos are! It just made me sad. My grandmother had stage 4 breast cancer 3 times in her 67 years of life, she didn’t survive the third time.
Not every super hero wears a cape, thank u Adam for what u do in this program
Oh Adam... The bath-house doesn't do prostate exams!
Kidding aside, I love your stuff :P
I would love it if you guys did a followup on cancer research foundations (like Susan G Komen vs smaller ones like children's charities and deadlier cancers like Ovarian). I think people would change their tune on pink ribbons on their clothes
Appreciate the way he treats and respects patient confidentiality.
Thank you for making this video Adam
"used to get his prostate checked twice a week" wait what.
My friend has a history of breast cancer and had a lump. She had so much emotional stress after she got the mammogram, but it turned out to be false. I guess she got luck
Currently binging this Series
In Spain, when cancer is detected they do a biopsy to know the type and apply the right treatment
Love these

My mother went for mammograms once she hit 40. Mostly because cancer runs in the family (all kinds. Aren’t I just the luckiest) but those never spotted anything. She ended up catching it herself when she did a self examination and found a lump. Knowing yourself and history is super important. She got both breasts removed to prevent the cancer from spreading to the other and I’m so happy she knew how to check herself and knew her body well enough to know it was a lump and not just a fatty tissue. Reading the other comments everyone has different account of cancer and it’s scary and interesting knowing it’s really just a gamble no matter what you try doing to find it or not.
I had breast cancer aged 41 and they could not really see it on the mammogram, which is most useful for women aged 50+ as the tissue is less dense, as mentioned by others. The lump was found by self-examination and confirmed by ultra-sound. The biopsy instead gave information about the type of cancer I had, the MRI scan gave better information about position and shape. They probably should have said that mammograms are useless on young women and ultrasounds are more effective (and harmless, since they are used on foetuses as well), not that breast screening is altogether a waste of time (and money, which is really what the issue is). They should encourage younger women to get ultrasounds, not mammograms or nothing at all.
The first bird box challenge
I like how they completely skipped over the biopsy that would happen to diagnose exactly what cancer it is and what treatment it would need.
adam ruins everything has taught me so many things i don't need to worry about for another 15 years
My mother have breastcancer so my dad made a event where he colletcted almost 7000$.
When my mother told me about that her cancer my hole world fell apart abd i just wanted to be gone but because of that we have now bought a kitty and we try to be strong and fight cancer.
(Edit fixed a word)
Ugh, another mindless pleasure of modern life ruined by Adam
getting a cancer screening is a mindless pleasure for you?
There is a reason its called "Adam *_Ruins_* Everything"
This video should be called Adam Misleads Everything
y y , There is much more of this Sammy Seidelton then we can ever begin to comprehend. Further testing and mammograms are needed.
I know! Now I have less women coming to me to get free mammograms.
GREAT JOB
This actually ended on a more hopeful note and didn’t leave me feeling depressed.
2:58 to have it on a loop
Kind of makes you wonder if pap tests are overhyped as well. I was told by a doctor that you only get cervical cancer if you had contracted hpv which you can only get if your sexual active.
You can get HPV if your mom had it and gave it to you during birth.
I love it when Adam shatters people's realities.
This one was less of 'Adam Ruins Everything' and more of Adam fixes something.
Why there should be a biopsies after the mammogram like in the UK with nice and the nhs
There are. Adam just failed to mention that...
+fligglebobbin Yup. Of course there are biopsies. Zero doctors prescribe chemo after one unusual scan. They should change the name of his show to "Adam fails to mention relevant info." After watching him smugly misinform his audience on all three of the (three) topics he was claiming to "ruin," I stopped watching his content. I am not pleased that this video (which I'd hoped would be comedy) was actually another Adam video.
Do not presume that something that happens in one country, also happens in another country. The US has some really backwards policies in a lot of places, and it is not uncommon for doctors to prescribe treatments just to get rid of patients, even if it will actually harm them. Very few medics, who are rutinely overworked to the point many colapse of fatigue just so the hospital will make profit are the reason shit like this happens everywhere in the US
This in no way is something against doctors, since they are the ones who are overworked and exploited in the first place. When you only slept 4 hours in the past 3 days, decisions you would normally never make suddenly become a viable option.
Allie Schwarz, except biopsies can only tell you whether a tumor is cancerous or benign. It can't tell the difference between the lazy cancers and the fast but treatable ones. The only was to figure that out is to wait and see. Guess how many people are willing to give cancer a little time to maybe start killing them? Also, biopsies aren't totally safe either. They can knock otherwise contained cancer cells loose into your bloodstream, or even stimulate them to grow.
This is an incredibly irresponsible thing to publish. Chemo is not proscribed based on a mammogram. A biopsy tells what kind of cancer it is and different cancers receive different kinds of chemo treatment.
not always chemo lol there are many other types of treastment
I like the "btw prostate and thyroid cancers have the same issue" bit at the end. Like, "oh yeah, and men".
very helpful... love ya adam

Adam getting his prostate checked twice a week sounds like a long term relationship. lucky guy
My mother had a false positive and had to have a biopsy done (which was clean) but when my grandmother's friends found out that my mom had a mammogram they told her all kinds of stories about women they had known who died of breast cancer. I never wanted to punch an old woman before but she upset my mother.
HELP! I'M HOOKED I CAN'T STOP WATCHING
Why did the mammogram start making out with some girl
Idk this show is weird
Why does the sun come up in the morning

00:7 brain massage seems legit.
One important part is missing!!
Mammography works via radiation. The breast is a tissue that absorbs lots of radiation (while bones or teeth for example absorb extremely little) and the less sure you are if it's really 'dangerous' cancer, the more radiation will be used because by increasing the radiation per block of tissue you can also greatly improve the quality of the picture. However, cancer is not only often caused by radiation but radiation can also help a cancer develop mutations that make it more deadly (faster, less prone to react to chemotherapy or targeted therapy/ immunotherapy like bevacuzimab) . It is this radiation that it's really owed to that people don't just randomly get x-rays or mammographies for that matter. Ultrasound has no harmful effect whatsoever purely by method, just as MRI does not. These methods should always be used first (MRI only if there seems to be real evidence for cancer, like a lump in the breast because it is painfully expensive).
I am nearly done with medical school at this point and I can only say that I will NEVER get a screening-mammography and I would never recommend it to my female friend or daughter. You can't see very well on it and what you see is not sure and requires a second screening method, even if there IS something to be seen. And all the while it harms you by radiation - these harms are worse the younger you are when you aquire them, as radiation damages take about ten years to fully prosper.
Ah, and by the way: men should also feel their breasts from now and then for lumps. There are fewer male victims for breast cancer, but men can also develop breast cancer (just not that often because they have less real breast-tissue in their breasts than women and only this tissue caries the danger of becoming malignant)
Adam ruins everything is one of the best shows
I hope college humour or Adam does more stuff like this
