New Guidelines for Breast Cancer Screening Considered Unsafe By Women
Breast Cancer Guidelines are being amended and there is some concern.
The greatest health fear for many women is breast cancer disease.
One in eight women do develop breast cancer, however, women perceive the risk to be much higher.
So much so, as a matter of fact, that they are concerned about the new guidelines limiting early cancer screening for breast cancer.
More than eight out of 10 women say new guidelines recommending against routine breast cancer screening of women under 50 are “unsafe,” according to a small survey.
But most of the women also grossly overestimate their risk of developing the disease, researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School in Worcester found.
