Abstract

The new EU Council Recommendation on cancer screening extends organized mammography screening to the 45-74-year age group. Mammography screening in young women has been the subject of discussion since its inception almost forty years ago. Starting from the recent publication of the survival data for breast cancer of the regional programme for women aged 45-49 years, activated in the Emilia-Romagna Region (Northern Italy), it is here proposed to test, with a research and innovation practice, a new screening offer for the 45-54-year age group with a tailored approach, i.e., based on the risk level and breast density.
