Simulation of Begin and End Ages for Mammography Screening

: This article is designed to assist healthcare professionals in identifying begin and end ages for annual breast cancer mammography screening through the use of cost-effectiveness and computer modeling. With a Limit of acceptability of $50,000 per life-year saved, the ages of screening were found to be 35 to 85. The present study identifies the end age for screening more clearly than currently available evidence while meeting the societal limits of $50,000 per life-year saved and equitable spending for the young and old alike.
