November 18, 2009 Hour 2 - New Mammogram Recommendations Cause Confusion, Alarm
An influential government task force has reversed long-standing guidelines by recommending that women in their 40s don't need mammograms and that women over 50 need them only every other year instead of annually. The task force determined the potential harm to younger women from over-treatment outweighs the benefits. The panel also found no evidence that breast self-exams lead to fewer deaths. Our panel discussion on this topic includes Laura Scanlan, cancer survivor and volunteer at The American Cancer Society, Andrea Rader, spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, Dr. Cynthia Ryan of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Joyce Bichler, Deputy Director of Breast Cancer Action. Online guests are Christine Cupaiuolo, writer on women’s health and public policy issues at Our Bodies Ourselves, and Judy Norsigian, Our Bodies Ourselves co-founder and executive director.
