Just published in Annals of Internal Medicine, Identifying Equitable Screening Mammography Strategies for Black Women in the United States Using Simulation Modeling. According to the authors, “Results suggest that, in self-identified Black women, initiation of earlier screening than is presently recommended for the overall U.S. population by the USPSTF or the American Cancer Society [i.e., by age 40] can reduce mortality disparities and maintain acceptable benefit-harm tradeoffs.”
