This podcast (43:14 minutes) features an interview with Mara Schonberg who discusses cancer screening. Cancer screening is designed to detect slow growing cancers that, on average, take 10 years to cause harm. The benefits of mammography breast cancer screening rise with age, peak when women are in their 60s, and decline thereafter. That is why the American College of Physicians recommendation regarding mammography for women over age 75 is that average-risk women or with women with a life expectancy of 10 years or less should discontinue screening for breast cancer.
