10 Things We Hate About You, New ACP Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines, as board certified, breast fellowship trained experts.
🗒️ You scheduled your annual mammogram. You showed up every year. You did everything right. Then the new ACP guidelines dropped — and suddenly everyone’s asking: should I even bother getting screened at 40?
Let us be direct. The American College of Radiology, the leading authority in breast imaging, says these guidelines could lead to up to 10,000 additional, unnecessary breast cancer deaths per year in the U.S. They call the recommendations “outdated” and warn that thousands more women will face mastectomies and chemo for cancers that annual screening would have caught early.
So yes — we have feelings about this. Swipe through all 10. 👉 At GRACE Breast Imaging & Medical Spa in Clive, Iowa, our position is simple: we follow the the expert guidelines from the American College of radiology, the society of breast images and the NCCN. Annual mammograms starting at 40. Personalized plans for women with dense breasts. Expert care that treats you like an individual — not a statistic.
