Even for a small fee, women do not go mammograms

Even at lower pay for mammograms, there is little likelihood that women undergo this procedure on a regular basis, according to scientists. Breast cancer is difficult and expensive to treat in the later stages of the disease. So in the future they want to make a free mammogram. Breast cancer was diagnosed in 178,000 American women in 2007, and died of his more than 40 000 women according to the American Cancer Association, which recommends regular mammograms for women over 40. The researchers found that among 366 thousand women from 65 to 69 years since mammography screening, 4 percent less educated than women with low income and poor, and those who had to pay part of the costs. Scientists was the rising trend in mammography visits among those who paid full price by 3.4% lower in women who pay some of the costs, had seen up 5.5 percent. But it is also a large percentage of women who do not need a mammogram just because you have to pay for it. Scientists believe that mammograms should be free and hope for the awareness of the women who make decisions, often to the detriment of his health, refuses timely mammograms.
