Synopsis
Routine screening mammography is recommended by most groups issuing breast cancer screening guidelines, especially for women ≥ 50 years of age. However, both the potential benefits and risks of screening should be discussed with individual patients to allow for shared decision-making regarding their participation in screening, age of commencement and conclusion, and interval of mammography screening.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
