New breast cancer screening guidelines urge younger women to get mammograms

A study released Tuesday by the U.S. Preventive Services Taskforce encourages women to start getting screened at the age of 40. The previous recommendation was to start screenings at 50. Suzanne Price, CEO of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners, joined ABC7's "Getting Answers" to explain why these recommendations were amended. abc7ne.ws/2Lu50ZT

as a preop nurse ive seen young women late 20s to 30s even. or new moms who discover lactation problems. i generally ask if they have family history and most often they dont and they are shocked .
