I very much appreciate Dr. Caruncho’s thoughtful and detailed response to my article in Diagnostic Imaging. It is ironic I wrote the article before the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force published its new guidelines. Their scientifically unsupportable analysis merely reinforced the concerns I expressed in Diagnostic Imaging.

Mammography screening is one of the major medical successes of the past several decades, yet this fact seems unable to break free of the doubts promulgated by such articles as Dr. Leonard Berlin's.
