For the first time in 12 years, the American Cancer Society is changing its Breast Cancer screening recommendations. It could just add to the confusion about when women should get mammograms. Cbs 2s dr. Max gomez sets the record straight. Reporter Sherry Forrest had her first mammogram at age 35 after she felt a lump in her breast. It was a false alarm. I have gone every year since. Reporter the American Cancer Society is now recommending women at average risk have yearly mammograms starting at age 45, not 40. Study author dr. Kevin offinger says the benefits outweigh the harm starting at 45. Between 40 and 44, Breast Cancer is less common. So the risk for a false positive, we thought that needs to be an informed decision between the woman and her healthcare provider. Reporter starting at 55, recommends screenings every two years. Thats closer to the u. S. Preventative Task Force Guidelines which recommends mammograms every two years starting at age 50. Some doctors say the guidelines are confusing and only take into account Breast Cancer deaths, not quality of life for survivors. The chief of breast screening at Lenox Hill Hospital recommends all women start yearly mammograms at age 40. Women who develop Breast Cancer in their 40s, early 40s, develop a very aggressive Breast Cancer and it spreads rapidly. Reporter sherry has had a few false positives in her early mammograms. Its scary when youre waiting to find out results. Reporter but she says she would rather have the anxiety than cancer. For the first time, the new guidelines support informed decisionmaking saying some women ages 40 to 45 should have the option to screen early and those over 55 to screen yearly in consultation with their doctors. So its not a hard and fast [ pause ] [ signal breakup ] just to clarify, i know a lot of women are probably at home saying, well, geez, how does this affect my insurance . I mean, will my insurance still, you know, cover the the screening . Reporter theres a possibility that the Insurance Companies wont cover it because its now a screening mammogram outside of the guidelines. The keywords there are screening mammogram because screening means you dont have any symptoms, any lump or anything. If you found a lump, that now automatically makes it a diagnostic mammogram and that should be covered by Health Insurance. They are also recommending changes in the regular office exams with a doctor, right . Thats right. The doctor or whats called a clinical breast exam where the doctor examines a breast for a lump. They have evaluated all of the data on that and they have looked at it and they said, you know what . Theres not enough data to support that it makes a difference for women having that so they recommend against the clinical breast exam for women. Something to definitely have a conversation with your doctor about, right . Reporter thats the important part. You can have that conversation so youre making that informed decision. Thank you. It wasnt a mammogram but a Facebook Post that led a wisconsin woman to find out she had Breast Cancer. Leah dietrich and susan norr are neighbors and friends. Leah already had Breast Cancer and beat it on the second anniversary of her diagnosis, she posted a thank you note for all the support she got during her treatment. When susan read the post, she made a lifesaving decision. Somehow, i read between the lines. It didnt say anywhere about doing a selfexam but thats what i got from that. That day, i did a selfexam and i hadnt done one for years. Maybe ever. And i felt a tumor and im like oh, my god oh just weeks later, susan was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Susan and leah are now thankfully both cancerfree. So you g
