What is the Avon Breast Cancer Crusades perspective on the value of mammography?
The Avon Foundation makes no recommendations on medical treatment. Instead, we refer to the expertise of the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute. Existing studies of mammography in the US and abroad are currently the subject of criticism among biostatisticians. The public debate that has ensued as a result of news accounts of this criticism of the methodological and statistical aspects of these studies is a cause for concern by women and their physicians.
