Abstract
Screening mammography rates were much lower than recommended in target age groups for mammography in Brazil and both types of mammograms were recorded for women younger than usually recommended. More appropriate use of mammography and better use of resources, will likely improve the outcomes of breast cancer in Brazilian women in a country with wide socio-economic differences, as well as minimise the potential risks associated with mammography in younger women.
