Am I anti-mammogram? Of course not! Just like I'm not anti-PSA either. Instead, rather than paint with a broad brush, we need to start wielding a very fine paintbrush and personalize testing & treatment options to the individual. So don't blindly order a mammogram but rather have a conversation with your patient and discuss both the benefits and the potential negative consequences, too.
