It is important to understand the history of breast cancer screening to better understand the continuing effort to reduce access to screening. Since the randomized, controlled trials have shown a statistically significant mortality reduction for women ages 40-74, the appropriate threshold for initiating screening is age 40 with no data to support the use of the age of 50 as a threshold for screening. All women are at risk for developing breast cancer and all women should have access to screening.
了解乳腺癌筛查的历史对于更好地理解为减少筛查机会所做的持续努力很重要。由于随机对照试验已显示40至74岁女性的死亡率在统计学上有显著降低，因此开始筛查的合适阈值是40岁，没有数据支持将50岁作为筛查阈值。所有女性都有患乳腺癌的风险，所有女性都应该有机会接受筛查。
