Link To “Time to Stop Pressuring Women on Screening Mammography?” With Links To Additional Resources

Note to myself: This post contains articles appropriate for shared decision making on the decision to undergo mammography.

In this post I link to  the vidcast and transcript of July 30 from Medscape, Time to Stop Pressuring Women on Screening Mammography?, by Andrew M. Kaunitz, MD.

In addition I link to the  relevant articles that Dr. Kaunitz references in his discussion.
