Has anyone heard the latest news about mammograms and early detection for cancer?

I'm shocked.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task force, funded by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality sis the study and published the results this week. The decision was based on the impact of mammography on breast-cancer deaths.

They also reccomended that women between the ages of 50 and 74 have mammograms every two years instead of every year.

They also said they don't urge us to do self-exams since it doesn't seem to significantly reduce the risk of death from breast cancer.

Does this sound ridiculous to you? Don't we all know someone who found a lump during self-examination, then went to the doctor?
