The Mayo Clinic is still recommending yearly mammography screening, starting at age 40. This is similar to the recommendation of the American Cancer Society. This is reviewed because of a recent change in the US Preventive Services Task Force guidelines to start at age 50. Most cancer experts I have talked to are not changing their recommendation of starting mammograms at age 40. Shame on the government! docdrh 3.5 years ago
