Annual screening mammography beginning at age 40 in average-risk women saves the most lives. 🎀

That’s it, that’s the tweet.

USPSTF Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines Do Not Go Far Enough, editorial from DrWendieBerg , DBI's Chief Scientific Advisor: jamanetwork.com/journals/jamao…

'The USPSTF updated recommendations are an important step forward, but they stop short.'

✅ Annual mammography
✅ MRI/US for dense breasts
✅ Risk assessment at early age

Bottom line - ❌ It's not enough.❌

Lead author on a recent study, Jean Seely, MD, is seeing that breast cancer rates are increasing in women as young as their 20's.

'But what really surprised me was the extent of the increase.'

Respectful dissent and diversity of opinion is where the magic happens, and (IMO) an important sign of a psychologically safe environment.

Grateful to have this Moffitt Cancer Center

In cultures of politeness, dissent is a threat to social harmony. People nod and smile even if they disagree, and silence fuels groupthink.

In cultures of integrity, dissent is a sign of commitment to quality. People voice their views, and respectful debate improves decisions.

Really not happy with these new USPTF mammogram recommendations. Here’s why #bcsm

Annual screening mammography saves the most lives. Anything else prioritizes anxiety & theoretical harms from breast cancer screening. We don’t place the same paternalistic approach on prostate cancer screening, so why breast cancer.

While I applaud the USPTF for ⬇️ the age to start screening mammography back to 40 for average-risk individuals saving about 20% more lives (& what breast cancer experts like myself have been recommending this whole time), the latest guidelines fall short in a number of ways. ➡️

Here are recommendations that myself & many other medical societies support:

🌟ANNUAL screening mammography beginning at age 40 in AVE-RISK women

🌟breast cancer risk assessment before age 30 to identify high-risk individuals who need to start earlier & supplement w MRI/US

Here is why the latest USPTF guidelines fall short!

Making strides with USPSTF screening recommendations but more work still needs to be done! ANNUAL mammogram starting at age 40 saves lives and is recommended by American College of Radiology Society of Breast Imaging National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) ASBrS

Women should undergo a risk assessment by age 25 ✅

Final USPSTF breast cancer screening recommendations do not go far enough to save more women’s lives. We urge the USPSTF to recommend all women have a risk assessment by age 25 & that women at average risk receive an annual #mammography starting at age 40. bit.ly/4dh8rkh

Yearly mammograms starting at 40. #Endtheconfusion

This new guideline still conflicts with that of other societies. For my patients, it's yearly screening.
