New evidence-based patient-facing breast cancer guidelines from the NCCN call for annual mammograms for all average-risk women over age 40 years.
The new guidelines state that women should undergo a breast cancer risk assessment starting at age 25 years, and they emphasize annualscreening beginning at age 40 years for those with average risk — a screening approach that offers the greatest mortality reduction, according to available evidence.
"A lot of women think they need to put this on hold, but we can shield the belly, and the radiation is very low dose and targeted. It's important to keep up with screenings. Especially for women whose first pregnancy is happening when they are 40 or older," Bevers commented., and emphasize the need for prompt clinical and diagnostic evaluation, including imaging and biopsy, in some cases.
These guidelines also differ in their recommendations for women older than 50 and for women at high risk.
