Screening by Mammography<br />
Mammography use rose steadily in women ages 40 and older until<br />
2000 and has been stable since. The 2010 goal for all women was met<br />
by 2000, though disparities remain among racial/ethnic, geographic,<br />
and low-income groups. Statement of benefit<br />
Based on fair evidence, screening mammography in<br />
women aged 40 to 70 years decreases breast cancer<br />
mortality.<br />
The benefit is higher for older women, in part because<br />
their breast cancer risk is higher.
