LEGISLATIVE ALERT!
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a new set recommendations changing the guidelines for mammography and no longer recommending an annual one for women from ages 40 to 49. They say that the benefits of the testing do not outweigh the harms or the risk. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® does not agree with these recommendations and continues to recommend annual mammography beginning at age 40 for women of average risk and earlier for women with known risks for breast cancer.

Please sign our petition and help make sure there are no barriers for women to get the mammograms they need.
