What do you think about this news about mammograms?

Asked by skfinkel (13537points) October 24th, 2011

This report in the NYTimes explains that there is only a very small fraction of women who are actually helped by mammograms. Maybe if they begin to narrow down more closely who those people might be, we can eliminate this test for just about everyone. And meanwhile, the money saved can go to prevention!
