"With our new recommendation, it saves 20% more lives across the board for all women," said Dr. Wanda Nicholson, the task force's vice chair. “We disagree with the U.S. task force in so many different ways,” said Dr. Stamatia Destounis, chair of the American College of Radiology's Breast Imaging Commission.recommending that all women have a conversation with their doctor by age 25 to determine if they need to be screened earlier in life. It also recommended that women with dense breasts, a breast cancer diagnosis before age 50 or a personal history of breast cancer get an MRI each year.
Radiologists also questioned why the task force did not recommend annual screenings for women with dense breasts, which make it harder to detect cancer.
