Consensus Statement on Screening Mammography
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Mammographic screening guidelines have remained a high profile medical topic with increased scrutiny since the 2009 guidelines were released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). These guidelines recommended biennial screening for women age 50-74, a shared decision making process for screening women age 40-49 and insufficient evidence to support screening women over the age of 75. [1] Recently the American Cancer Society (ACS) has published their new guidelines for mammographic screening and several changes from the USPSTF and prior ACS recommendations are notable. The 2015 ACS guidelines recommend annual screening for women age 45-54, a shared decision making process for women to elect screening in ages 40-44 and biennial screening for women over the age of 55. Women are advised in the new ACS recommendations to continue screening as long as they have an estimated 10 year life expectancy. [2]
