revised its guidelines for screening for breast cancer. a disease that kills 40,000 american women every year. it now says that women should get their first mammogram years later than p pviously recommended. we asked our dr. jon lapook what's behind the change. >> ready? >> reporter: ready or not today, 49-year-old kimberly taylor finally got her first mammogram. >> i really took the advice of the doctor first in consideration. but it wasasery confusing. >> reporter: in recent years medical groups disagreed about wh to start screening and how often to do it. a major task force suggested mammography every other year starting at 50. the american cancer society previously recommended annual screening beginning at 40. today's new guidelines recommend womennf average risk be screened annually starting at 45, then every two years starting at 55.
2:55 am
dr. kevin oeffinger, of memorial sloan kettering chaired the panel. >> we thought that annual mammography gave us our best chance of both reducing premature mortality as well as balancing out what the potential harms associated with mammography. >> reporter: those harms include false alarms leading to unnecessary biopsies and surgery. estimated lifetime risk of dying from breast cancer is 2.7% with no screening. and 1.8% to 1.9% with today's guidelines. cancer society left room for screening women younger than 45. >> between 40 and 44, breast cancer is less common. there is still the risk for a false positive. we thought that need to be an informed shared decision between the woman and health care provider. reporter: women inn higher risk groups would need more aggressive screening depending upon severity of the risk. but for routine screening today's guidelines narrow the gap between cancer society and major task force advising the government. better consensus may lessen the current confusion.
