Mammography screening is no stranger to controversy; it feels as if there's no end to the debates over the starting age and overall efficacy. However, there is no evidence that women should ever stop receiving them, according to Assistant Professor Ciny Lee, MD, of the University of San Francisco Department of Radiology.

Her study showed that as women aged, mammograms detected cancer at a higher rate with a decline in rates of recall. Utilizing data from the National Mammography Database, Lee and colleagues examined patient data from 2008 to 2014 using four performance metrics: cancer detection rate, recall rate and positive predictive value for biopsy recommendeded and for biopsy performed.
