When the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released controversial new guidelines changing the age women should begin receiving mammograms, gabbegroup, with MD Anderson’s Public Affairs, worked to put them into perspective for media and consumer understanding. The team enlisted Therese Bevers, M.D., F.A.A.F.P, professor in the Department of Clinical Cancer Prevention at MD Anderson to assess the developments and offer her thoughts. The news was another opportunity to discuss the importance of MD Anderson’s recently revamped breast cancer screening guidelines.
