A national health panel has recommended that women aged 40 to 74 at average risk of breast cancer undergo routine screening mammograms every two years. This new guideline lowers the previous recommended age by 10 years. The change aims to improve early detection and prevention of breast cancer, potentially saving more lives. Senator Shaheen praised the update as 'long overdue' and emphasized the importance of continuing to prioritize women's health and preventative care.
