Some doctors now say women should start getting mammograms at age 50

»  Comments | Post a Comment

There's new conflicting information about when women should start getting regular mammograms.

A government panel of doctors and scientists now recommends most women wait until age 50 and then every 2 years.

They say mammograms done before age 50 result in too many false positives.

The American Cancer Society recommends mammograms at age 40.
