USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Do Not Go Far Enough
Ce dossier présente les recommandations de l'"US Preventive Services Task Force" concernant le dépistage des cancers du sein
The goal of screening for breast cancer is to find it early, before it has spread to lymph nodes, to reduce breast cancer mortality and also to reduce the morbidity of treatment. The updated recommendations from the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), informed by a decision analysis and comparative effectiveness review, support biennial screening mammography for women aged 40 to 74 years (B recommendation) but conclude that current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms in women 75 years and older (I statement). These recommendations expand the potential benefits of screening mammography, but they do not go far enough.
