The American Medical Association last month moved to amend its policy on mammograms, recommending that women begin receiving annual screenings at age 40, rather than 50.

The AMAs new stance contradicts that of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, however, which continues to recommend mammograms every one to two years for women between the ages of 40 and 49.
