Controversy over mammogram recommendations for women under 50.

Despite the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's (USPSTF) updated guidelines recommending women should get mammograms every two years beginning at age 40, Doctor Jill Westerkamp with Iowa Radiology in Clive believes women should get mammograms every year, not biannually, beginning at age 40. She said that was USPSTF recommendation until 2009. Westerkamp said some women should start getting screened as early as in their 30s if they’re at a higher risk for breast cancer.
