The importance of self exams cannot be stressed enough, as has been mentioned numerous times.
My feeling, however, is that the incidence of false postive exams needed to be addressed through advancements in mammography technology and/or other diagnostic procedures before this study was done.
I know many groups have come out in opposition to the recommendation, including the American Cancer Society, but I would be interested to see the stance taken by the Susan G. Komen Foundation. I looked on their website, but they didn't seem to officially be taking a side either way.
