New Mammogram Guidelines Are Causing Confusion, But Here’s Why They Make Sense - http://www.ourbodiesourblog.org/blog...
thank you & Christine for posting this. I've been wanting to read a thoughtful, cautious, scientifically-based response to the new guidelines. - Stephanie_Thankful
Thank you - hope it's helpful. C gets all the credit for this one (I just bugged her w/ additional links to check out for two days). :) - Rachel Walden
Yes, thank you so much - I have tagged this for careful reading later. I *think* I understand the science behind the new recommendations, but I'm still having a hard time with "but isn't earlier better?" - Catherine Pellegrino
Yes, thank you! What I heard on NPR was really confusing and this really helps. - Meredith
This is a very good post. I admit I had a very serious WTF reaction to the new guidelines, but this article does a great job of separating the science from the hype/fear and holding both up to the light to be examined. - vicster
