Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Under Debate

http://www.dailyrx.com/mammogram-and-... Although it may seem intuitive that you should get screened early and often for all types of cancers, it isn't always that simple.

New draft recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), a panel of national medical experts, suggested that women between the ages of 40 and 49 make an individual choice about whether to start mammography screening for breast cancer. But other experts are stressing the importance of early screenings.
