Destounis, MD, chair of the ACR Breast Commission and a member of the RSNA Public Information Advisors Network, said, \u201cThe ACR recommends that the patient at average risk for breast cancer gets screened with mammography starting at age 40 and yearly thereafter with no upward limit, as age should not be a factor of when a patient stops screening instead of their overall health and other comorbidities. The ACR guidelines speak specifically for the high-risk patient because of family history of breast cancer, and or dense breast tissue as these are groups that the USPSTF fails to recommend any supplemental screening.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uspreventiveservicestaskforce.org\/uspstf\/draft-recommendation\/breast-cancer-screening-adults\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: #1155cc;\">USPSTF recently released a statement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black;\"> suggesting biennial mammography screenings for women ages 40 to 74.

Black women are 42 percent more likely to die of breast cancer in comparison to white women and the USPSTF guidelines could exacerbate the disparities by allowing cancers in those high-risk women another year to advance.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0in 0in 8.0pt 0in;\"><span style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; font-family: 'Calibri',sans-serif; color: black;\">Breast cancer screening targets small cancers in their early stages before it\u2019s symptomatic or significantly spread throughout the body.
