Mammograms have pros and cons for people in their 40s. Women can handle the nuance

The most recent recommendation of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is that all women 40 to 74 get mammograms every other year. A previous recommendation said screening should start at 50. One doctor suggests that people "test smarter, not test more."

Guidelines for when women should start getting mammograms have changing. A new study makes the case for explaining to women the risks and benefits of screening for breast cancer.
