Patient perspective: Is intensive screening of women at high risk of breast cancer evidence-based medicine or ? by Kathleen A Fairman

“…My search for studies of available risk-management options revealed that the most commonly recommended approach for women with a ⩾20% lifetime breast cancer risk, intensive screening including annual mammography and/or magnetic resonance imaging beginning at age 25–40 years, was supported only by cancer-detection statistics, with almost no evidence on patient-centered outcomes—mortality, physical and psychological morbidity, or quality of life—compared with standard screening or a surgical alternative, bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy. …”
