Mammography under 40 Years of Age

The American Cancer Society in 1992 has released the recommendations to perform a “basic” mammography at 35 years of age, but not only isn’t this practice put into action for scientific popularization by mass media, but it is not even encouraged by general practitioners themselves. In the USA, besides, there is a further problem, represented by the lack of insurance cover for this exam under 40 years of age. Some researchers have now collected the data from six mammographic registries including 120,000 women undergoing their first mammography at an age between 18 and 39.
