May 9, 2023 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force seeks comments on a draft recommendation statement, draft evidence review, and draft modeling report on screening for breast cancer. The Task Force now recommends that all women get screened for breast cancer every other year starting at age 40. We’re also urgently calling for more research on whether or not additional screening with breast ultrasound or MRI for women with dense breasts is beneficial, and on the benefits and harms of screening in women older than 75. The draft recommendation statement, draft evidence review, and draft modeling report are available for review and public comment from May 9, 2023, to June 5, 2023 here. A video, FAQs, an infographic, and consumer guide about the draft recommendation are also available.
