Breast cancer screening for women younger than 40.

A F Gili1, Z Poonja, B B Kalra.   

Abstract

The charts of 661 women aged 15 to 39 revealed that almost 50% of teenage patients had had breast screening examinations. Most of the physicians and residents involved began performing and teaching breast examination to patients in their teens. Concerned that it might do more harm than good, the Canadian guidelines do not advocate early screening.
