***CONNIE AUDIO ON CART****
To confuse things further there is no medical agreement on whether younger
women would benefit from mammograms.
Several recent studies show mammography can significantly reduce the risk
of dying from breast cancer for women age 40 to 49.
Mammography is not a perfect science. Pre-menopausal women do have dense
breast tissue which can complicate finding tumors.
Mammography can be so sensitive that it can find suspicious abnormalities
that ultimately turn out not to be cancer.
A panel of experts convened last month by the National Cancer Institute
was concerned these false positive results might create unnecessary anxiety.

Opinion changed dramatically though when women were told insurance might
not cover the test without a government recommendation.
In that case, 72-percent support firm guidelines.
