To be checked for breast cancer means to examine the breast before there are signs of disease. The mammogram method of examination is most effective compared to clinical and self breast examinations. Many doctors agree to have this exam done once a year after the age of 40. Breast Cancer Action suggest women make their own decision to have a mammogram or take advantage of technology. Although guidelines by breast cancer screenings may lead to a loss in mammogram coverage, insurance companies will still pay an annual fee. Experts appointed by the government can not change federal policies. . The U.S Preventive Services Task Force believes women under 50 do not need screening and women over 50 only need them every other year. Once done in the past by the Preventive Services Task Force, the age of Cervical Cancer Screenings when from the age of 20 to 25 only being screened every 3-5 years. Britain’s National Health System sees this pushback in age as the government health care system trying to save money. The American Cancer Society reported that 80% of breast cancer appears in women over the age of 50 and in women over 65, one to two people are killed.
