Physicians In The USA Recommend To Make A Mammography To All Women.
More than three years after debatable redesigned guidelines rejected way annual mammograms for most women, women in all age groups continue to get yearly screenings, a unusual survey shows. In fact, mammogram rates actually increased overall, from 51,9 percent in 2008 to 53,6 percent in 2011, even though the mortify rise was not considered statistically significant, according to the researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. "There have been no significant changes in the charge of screening mammograms centre of any age group, but in particular among women under seniority 50," said the study leader, Dr Lydia Pace, a global women's healthfulness fellow in the division of women's health at Brigham and Women's.

While the study did not look at the reasons for continued screening, the researchers speculated that conflicting recommendations from various licensed organizations may play a role. In 2009, the US Preventive Services Task Force, an non-aligned panel of experts, issued further guidelines that said women younger than 50 don't need routine annual mammograms and those 50 to 74 could get screened every two years. Before that, the encouragement was that all women age-old 40 and older get mammograms every one to two years.

The recommendations ignited much controversy and renewed reflection about whether delayed screening would increase breast cancer mortality. Since then, organizations such as the American Cancer Society have adhered to the recommendations that women 40 and older be screened annually. To notice what make the new task force recommendations have had, the researchers analyzed details from almost 28000 women over a six-year period - before and after the new task force guidelines.

The women were responding to the National Health Interview Survey in 2005, 2008 and 2011, and were asked how often they got a mammogram for screening purposes. Across the ages, there was no loss in screenings, the researchers found. Among women 40 to 49, the rates rose slightly, from 46,1 percent in 2008 to 47,5 percent in 2011. Among women superannuated 50 to 74, the rates also rose, from 57,2 percent in 2008 to 59,1 percent in 2011.
