Soori et al. (2022) conducted a cross-sectional in Breast cancer (n=51). State comprehensive cancer control plans vs. 2016 USPSTF recommendations was evaluated on Consistency of state CCC plan objectives with USPSTF recommendations for age and frequency of mammography screening. Only 31% of 51 US state comprehensive cancer control plans were fully consistent with the 2016 USPSTF recommendations for the age and frequency of mammography screening in average-risk women.
