I have another minute? Okay.
I've been studying breast cancer in all its formats for 25 years. Much of what I study is early detection. We have to think of the concept that mammography works. Mammography finds cancers when they're small and node-negative. There's no doubt that a mammogram will pick up a cancer when it's small and node-negative. Those have good prognoses.
The last five years I've devoted myself to trying to interpret why it doesn't save lives. I've come to a different conclusion from most of the other physicians on the planet. That is, if breast cancer is going to spread, it will spread very early on. There's a kind of breast cancer that becomes metastatic early on and one that doesn't become metastatic over the course of its clinical time.
In the past year, I have written a 300-page book about it. It will be finished tomorrow on the train ride home. I got the first half proofread today. The other half I'll do tomorrow coming home.
Anyway, I thank the committee for inviting me to express my opinions.
