CANADIAN STUDY VARIES FROM CURRENT BREAST CANCER PREVENTION METHODS
With recent studies casting doubt on when and if women should have mammograms, the Colorado Department of Public Health recommends women speak with their health care providers to make the best decision. The findings of the Canadian National Breast Screening Study published in the British Medical Journal on February 11th vary from current breast cancer screening recommendations. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends the use of screening mammography for breast cancer every two years for women ages 50 to 74 years. For women younger than age 50 years, the task force calls mammography an individual decision, taking into account a woman’s personal situation and values. The state health department and its partners follow screening and treatment methods proven to prevent breast cancer. The task force develops screening recommendations for breast cancer based on reputable scientific studies, and rigorously reviews its recommendations every five years. Such a review is underway now and will include the Canadian study. In the meantime, the health department recommends women make informed decisions with their health care providers based on their personal values.
