New Recommendations for Breast Cancer Screening—In Pursuit of Health Equity
Ce dossier présente les recommandations de l'"US Preventive Services Task Force" concernant le dépistage des cancers du sein
The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) last released recommendations on breast cancer screening in 2016, when they recommended that most women be screened every 2 years starting at age 50 years. In their 2024 recommendations, the USPSTF now recommends initiating screening mammography for all women at age 40 years and screening every 2 years until age 74 years (B recommendation). Similar to the 2016 recommendations, in their updated recommendations, the USPSTF concludes that evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening mammography in women aged 75 years and older (I statement) and that evidence is insufficient to assess the role of supplemental screening for women with dense breasts (I statement). Beyond the change in the recommended age to initiate screening, the new recommendations differ from prior recommendations in 2 critical and related ways: a deliberate focus on health equity and greater reliance on evidence from studies other than randomized clinical trials (RCTs).
