Recommendation for Screening for Breast Cancer Changed to Biennial for Ages 40-74

May 2, 2024 - The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) published on April 30, 2024 a US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation statement regarding Screening for Breast Cancer.

With moderate certainty, the article’s recommendation is biennial screening mammography for women aged 40 to 74 years. Also, the conclusion was that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older.
