How to use mammography in a sentence?

1. Wendie Berg:

4. Scott Gottlieb:

   Mammography is the best tool in determining if a woman has breast cancer.

5. Otis Brawley:

   We need to also focus on the fact that there are some good screening tests that actually clearly save lives, that we are not using enough, i would point out that 55% to 60% of Americans over the age of 50 are up do date on colorectal cancer screening. We could save a lot of lives if we could just get to 80% by 2018. We could help to decrease the cancer death rate that way. I would point out that there is no debate that mammography saves lives -- and if you look at women over the age of 45, about a third to 40% are not up to date on mammography. Many have never actually even had a mammogram, and we need to work on that.
