New study highlights benefits of mammograms
Dana Point California AP reports a fresh American Cancer Society analysis finds regular mammograms may cut breast cancer death risk by about two thirds, roughly double earlier study estimates. Epidemiologist Robert A. Smith notes the data, to be published May 1 in Cancer, suggests stronger benefits from screening. Seven landmark studies showed about 30 percent mortality reduction, but older work likely underestimated true gains due to screening uptake variances.
