It's statements like this that bother me:

"For women age 50 and older, cutting back to screening every two years would maintain 81 percent of the benefits of testing annually while reducing by half the number of false-positives, the computer modeling study estimated. "

Yeah I understand the problem of false positives, but I'd really hate to be one of the 19% that could have been helped. That's a big number.

Anyway I have pretty much every risk factor there is -- family history, no children, etc. I would be happy to avoid the pain of being squished, but I will continue to get them every year because it's worth it for me.
