Bottom Line: The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends biennial screening mammography for women ages 40 to 74. The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of screening mammography in women 75 years or older. The USPSTF concludes that the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of supplemental screening for breast cancer using breast ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in women identified to have dense breasts on an otherwise negative screening mammogram. Among all U.S. women, breast cancer is the second most common cancer and the second most common cause of cancer death. The USPSTF routinely makes recommendations about the effectiveness of preventive care services and this recommendation updates the 2016 recommendation on breast cancer screening.
