Breast cancer screening with mammography is a controversial issue, but
it can uncover a tumor at an early stage when it's easiest to treat.
Currently, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force
recommends
annual mammograms for women between the ages of 50 and 74, with
screening under 50 being an "individual" decision. But many women don't
have access to this information, a challenge that is especially
pronounced in Muslim communities, where standard public health messaging
doesn’t address concerns related to religious beliefs.
