[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s interesting how early mammogram screening begins in the US compared to other countries. Canada, Australia, UK, France, Denmark, Portugal begin in the 45-50 range. The only one I’ve found so far that recommends age 40 is Sweden. Does anyone have any thoughts on why? [/quote] Insurance and profit margins. Plus, the biopsies for "suspicious margins" that never turn out to be anything, and the profit that goes along with cancer treatment if they do find something. It's never about saving lives in the US, it's about making money hand over breast.[/quote]
