Publisher Description

Byline: Randi Bjornstad The Register-Guard Public outrage over a federal task force recommendation that women ages 40 to 49 years no longer have regular mammograms highlights the bugaboo of applying statistics to lifesaving medical screening: Even if cancer shows up in only one woman out of every 1,900 screened, who's to say saving that one life is not worth the price of all those other OK results?
