Abstract:
The role of mammography as a screening test for breast cancer is still being evaluated. Screening does not seem to reduce breast cancer mortality in women age 40 to 49. However, for women age 50 to 69, a 40% reduction in breast cancer mortality can be anticipated after 5 years, providing high compliance to screening is obtained.
