mammogram fight
ACS and ACP have taken opposing positions on mammograms for women 40-49. The ACP position is that women need to be told the risks and benefits of screening. The ACS position is that such a position will cause some women to skip mammograms. They are convinced that many cancers are found in women who have none of the risk factors.
What remains unproven is that finding those cancers is a net benefit to the women.
