  • Title: Mammographic screening for breast cancer: An invited review of the benefits and costs.
    Author: Greif JM.
    Journal: Breast; 2010 Aug; 19(4):268-72. PubMed ID: 20371181.
    Abstract:
    Mammographic screening is a proven method for reducing breast cancer mortality for women 40 years of age and older, but the best method for implementation of mammographic screening, particularly in the age group 40-49, remains controversial. The author, in an invited review, summarizes the data and offers guidance based on the best information available for women at risk for breast cancer, and their care providers, with particular emphasis on costs and benefits.
