Capitol briefing takes aim at USPSTF mammo guidelines
A congresswoman with a personal breast cancer story joined imaging experts for a Capitol Hill briefing that served both to illuminate the importance of mammography screening and also condemn recent U.S. Preventive Services Task Force mammography guidelines.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz (D-FL), who is a breast cancer survivor, spoke alongside the President and Immediate Past President of the Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) at the briefing, which was hosted by SBI and the Congressional Families Cancer Prevention Program of the Prevent Cancer Foundation.
