CRD SUMMARY:

This review concluded that mammography screenings were effective and reduced breast cancer mortality in women aged 39 to 49 by 17%. This represented a reduction from a very low absolute risk; the authors further concluded that women should be clearly informed of both positive and negative aspects of screening. The conclusion as a whole is likely to be reliable.
