Young women already at high risk of developing breast cancer, due to family history or genetic mutation, could be increasing their risk for the disease by having yearly mammograms. Ironically, exposure to mammography radiation may be the most harmful to the very women who need them the most. Healthcare providers commonly recommend that women at high-risk for breast cancer begin having mammograms earlier in life, and to undergo them more often than women at an average risk for the disease. However, the dangers of these screenings may outweigh the benefits.

Lead author Marijke C. Jansen-van der Weide, an epidemiologist at University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, presented a report on the recent findings while attending a meeting of the Radiological Society of North America in Chicago, Illinois. The results of the new analysis come only two weeks after The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent panel of government-appointed experts, advised women ages 40 to 49 who are at an average risk for breast cancer not to undergo routine mammograms, due to concerns over false alarms and unnecessary treatment. The task force also advised women ages 50 to 74 to have mammograms only every other year, instead of annually.
