[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] Yes I asked a few doctors including a breast surgeon and its because they're seeing more cancers in people who start mamos early and the radiation is causing more cancers than catching them early. Here are recommendations and START age of Mamos and most say every 2-3 years after 50 NOT yearly. United States 40 years Denmark 50 years Finland 50 years Sweden 40 years United Kingdom 50 years Germany 50 years France 50 years Italy 50 years Greece 40 years Bulgaria 40 years[/quote]
