Rather than the opinions of a highly paid member of the medical business and their corporate-crafted biased pro-mammogram "scientific" studies which are almost all conducted by people with huge vested interests tied to the medical business, the actual research evidence shows that routine cancer screening tests do not notably reduce cancer mortality (see this study: "Does screening for disease save lives in asymptomatic adults? Systematic review of meta-analyses and randomized trials") and in fact there is little, if any, good evidence that that shows 3D mammography reduces mortality from breast cancer in a significant way, this is also true for standard mammography (see Peter Gøtzsche's “Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy” and Rolf Hefti's "The Mammogram Myth").
An accurate public understanding of the medical profession as a mainly self-serving massive business instead of an objective selfless service, would make it possible for most people to readily recognize that the dismal predicament of harms being under-played and the benefits over-sold is the common mode of operation of mainstream medicine.
