  • Title: The frequency of breast screening in older women.
    Author: Hall AM, Hooper C.
    Journal: Prof Nurse; 1999 Dec; 15(3):155-9. PubMed ID: 10765323.
    Abstract:
    Increasing age is the main risk of breast cancer in women. Screening mammograms are effective in women aged over 65 years for the early detection of breast cancer. Older women's health beliefs affect their use of mammogram screening and they tend not to take advantage of screening opportunities. Nurses must discuss the benefits of screening mammograms with their older clients.
