New Study: Women in Their 40s Prefer to Delay Breast Cancer Screening After Decision Aid Intervention - What You Should Know

Broke On: Tuesday, 16 July 2024 A study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that some women in their 40s prefer to delay breast cancer screening after a decision aid intervention, with lower breast cancer risk. However, not all women should delay without consulting healthcare providers. Another study showed that those who wait until age 50 have lower risk based on family history, while earlier screenings have higher risks and less concern for downsides. The US Preventive Services Task Force recommends mammograms every other year for women aged 40-74, but many are unaware of the risks.
