Regular Breast Cancer Screenings Linked to Reduced Mortality, Study Shows

A study led by Epic Research suggests that annual breast cancer screenings could lower the risk of death by any cause by 17% compared to screenings every two years, potentially challenging current screening guidelines. The American Cancer Society recommends annual mammograms for women aged 45-54 and every other year for those 55 and older, while the US Preventive Services Task Force suggests screenings every two years for women aged 40-74. The study evaluated 25,512 women aged 50-74 and found that vulnerable populations, such as Black women and those in socially vulnerable or rural areas, are at higher risk of all-cause mortality after a breast cancer diagnosis. Experts support annual mammograms for early detection and survival, but note the study's limitations in accounting for lifestyle factors.
