Bloodletting has been used extensively throughout history and across cultures. When viewed as a panacea, it is dangerous. When used strategically, it can be life saving. Likewise, mammography has come to be viewed as essential for detection of breast cancer. Research and holistic understanding of prevention and detection of disease challenges this viewpoint. Safer options for breast cancer screening are available.
放血疗法在历史上和不同文化中都被广泛使用。若将其视为万灵药，那是危险的。但若策略性地使用，它可以挽救生命。同样，乳房X光检查已被视为检测乳腺癌的关键手段。对疾病预防和检测的研究及全面理解对这一观点提出了挑战。乳腺癌筛查有更安全的选择。
