Duke University: Who needs a mammogram?

Informative piece from Duke University magazine.
It's about yet another report about the necessity of mammograms.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently released results of its study on mammograms. It says women should have them routinely after age 50, but that individual choice and circumstances may change that.
For instance, if your mother and grandmother both died of breast cancer you probably should have the screenings earlier. Common sense, right?
