Abstract
Abstract Breast cancer screening guidelines are primarily based on age. The discussion and science is changing focus from what age to start screening mammography to how best to identify women most likely to benefit from screening mammography, such as those at increased risk of breast cancer and advanced stage disease. The Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) and Cancer Intervention and Surveillance Modeling Network (CISNET) are evaluating risk-based screening approaches aimed at maximizing the benefit of screening and minimizing the harms. This session will discuss how risk-based screening could maximize the potential benefits of screening by identifying and screening women at high risk of breast cancer and minimize the potential harms of screening by identifying women at low risk of breast cancer that could begin screening at a later age and/or be screened less often.
