[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] It's a public health risk benefit analysis. Lets say it costs X number of dollars to have mammos start at 40 and X minus ten to have them start at 45 or 50. They are willing to have some people die of BC in order to save that money and spend it on other things. [/quote]
