Aug 31, 2004 -- Full body scans may cause cancer
You may have heard recent news reports about the danger of full body scans. These are the CAT scans can detect cancer and other discrepancies in the body, but they’ve been used more often recently as “full body scanning” caught on. The recent news hit Clark like a ton of breaks because, not so long ago, Hall of Fame pitcher Don Sutton had one of these scans. It showed cancer cells in his body and Sutton was able to catch cancer before it spread in his body. But now the news about these scans is not so great, according to Columbia University. In fact, the reports state that the scans actually cause cancer. Unfortunately, something that you thought could help might actually hurt. So, what happens if you’ve already had one. The good news is that if you only had one scan, you are going to be fine. If you’ve had them year after year, you may want to see a doctor for advice. One in 50 of these people could develop a tumor.
