New breast cancer screening guidelines call for women to start mammograms at age 40
Fox News
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has released a draft of new guidelines for breast cancer screenings, recommending that women begin getting biennial mammograms starting at 40.
The previous recommendation, which was released in 2016, called for women to start screenings at age 50 — stating that women younger than 50 could choose to screen earlier based on their medical history and personal preferences. "Women in their 40s account for 20% of all breast cancers." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
The new guidance from USPSTF is closer to that of the American Cancer Society, which says that women between 40 and 44 should have the choice to begin getting biennial screenings and that women between 45 and 54 should ramp up the frequency to every year.
