Dave Courvoisier 8 news now anchor Christianne Klein talked with a breast surgeon and joins us now with the story. Christianne Klein most women have been told they need to get mammograms starting at age 40, do a monthly breast exam on themselves and get a yearly exam by their physician. But the American Cancer Society came out with new recommendations that are getting a lot of attention, and raising a lot of questions. Christianne Klein issued new controversial recommendations for women at average risk of Breast Cancer. They include giving women the choice to start mammograms between age 40 to 44. Only recommending annual mammograms between 45 to 54 and women age 55 and older switching to mammograms every 2 years with an option to continue yearly screening. dr. Josette spotts breast surgeon its all based on chances of getting Breast Cancer, and chances of finding Breast Cancer on a mammogram and is that going to save a life dr. Josette spotts is a breast surgeon. She says the new recommendations take many factors into consideration. But patients and their doctors need to discuss all options. dr. Josette spotts breast surgeon to me or the majority of breast surgeons or anybody who deals with Breast Cancer patients are still going to go by their recommendations that weve had for many years that starting at the age of 40 and at least a clinical breast examination annually Christianne Klein recommendations suggesting there is no benefit to a physical breast exam either monthly by you or annually by a doctor. dr. Josette spotts breast surgeon i absolutely disagree with their recommendation of not doing at least doing a physician clinical breast examination on a patient every year. Because i have seen many patients come in with a normal mammogram. And they come in for their routine annual follow up and i do a breast exam and they have an abnormality that wasnt seen on their mammogram Christianne Klein she also says patients need to spontaneous, persistent, bloody discharge from the nipples. Or a rash on the breast or areola. Or lumps in the breast or nearby. dr. Josette spotts breast surgeon lumps under the arm could signify a cancer that has already spread to the lymph nodes under the arms. And yet you cant feel anything abnormal in the breast Christianne Klein these recommendations are for women at average risk of Breast Cancer not those who have a family history. Or the brca mutation. Which puts them at a higher risk of developing Breast Cancer. So far. Insurance companies are only treating these as recommd and still following the older guidelines.
