I am glad to know about BCA's webinar on the topic of mammogram guidelines. I am surprised that a naturopathic doctor is so quick to accept a recommendation of more mammograms (ie. more cumulative exposure to radiation) for an age group for whom the value of mammograms is at minimum a cause for question. I'm not saying no one's life is saved by mammograms btwn age 40-50, but is it the best approach and is more necessarily better? A question that warrants careful and detailed consideration, I believe.
