Analysis of the benefits and risks of mammography screening for breast cancer
Comparison of screening guidelines for women under and over 50 years
Assessment of self-examination and physical examination as alternatives for younger women

Younger women under 50 without prior cancer may be better managed through self-examination and physical exams
High costs associated with screening programs may not justify the added benefits of mammography for all age groups
