TI  - Evidence for U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendations against 
      routine mammography for females between 40-49 years of age.

AB  - Breast cancer is the most common cancer among females, worldwide, accounting for 
      22.9% of all cancers (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer) in women. Mammography 
      is a sensitive (77-95%) and specific (94-97%) screening method for breast cancer. 
      Previously, females between the 40-50 years old were recommended to have 
      mammograms every one to two years. However, based on current evidence, in 2009, 
      USPSTF recommended that the decision to start regular, biennial screening 
      mammography for females younger than 50 years should be an individual decision 
      and take patient context into account, including patient values regarding 
      specific benefits and harms. This decision was based on findings regarding 
      radiation exposure, false-positive and false-negative rates, over-diagnosis, and 
      pain and psychological responses. The goal of this paper is to focus on evidence 
      for updating the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation 
      against routine mammography for females between 40-49 years of age.
