Abstract
It appears that screening mammography certainly is of value in women over age 50, and although controversy exists regarding screening of women under 50 years of age for breast cancer, the authors believe that this strategy is the most reasonable one for women 40 to 64 years of age at this time. Additionally, it is important for physicians to remember to encourage their patients to undergo cancer screening evaluation. Encouragement by physicians is an important factor in increasing cancer screening rates.
