More than a Half Century of Misinformation About Breast Cancer Screening
1Department of Radiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA 02115, USA.
Abstract:
The following is an overview of the numerous efforts to reduce access for women to breast cancer screening. Misinformation has been promoted over the many years to suggest that screening only works for women aged 50 years and over. In fact, there are no, scientifically derived data, to support the use of the age of 50 years as a threshold for screening. The randomized, controlled trials have proved that screening saves lives for women aged 40 to 74 years (the age of the women who participated).
