Trends in mammography use among women aged 40 to 49 years with a history of breast cancer
Cet article analyse, aux Etats-Unis, l'évolution de l'utilisation de la mammographie chez les femmes âgées entre 40 et 49 ans ayant des antécédents de cancer du sein
Mammography screening reduces mortality from breast cancer (BC) through early detection; however, the optimal age for initiation of screening among US women at average risk for BC is controversial. Personal BC history is a well-documented risk factor for developing a new breast tumor, with rates ranging from 0.25% to 1% per year.1 An annual screening mammogram is therefore incorporated into BC survivorship plans unless the patient has undergone a bilateral mastectomy
