New 2015 Guidelines for mammograms from the American Cancer Society

Posted by Charles Waisbren on October 25, 2015 at 12:00 PM

BREAST CANCER SCREENING FOR WOMEN AT AVERAGE RISK
2015 GUIDELINE UPDATE FROM THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY
1) Regular screening mammography starting at age 45
2) Women aged 45-54 should be screened annually
3) Women 55 years and older should transition to biennial screening...

I guess that I have to go with the evidence based data regarding these guidelines.  Don't forget, though, these guidelines are for average risk women.  Women who have a family history of breast cancer require earlier and more frequent mammography.
