On Tuesday, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommended women begin getting screened for breast cancer at age 40 instead of 50—but Katie Couric says that isn't enough.
Couric has been vocal about her breast cancer journey after being diagnosed with stage 1A last year. The former Today co-anchor has since used her platform to plead with women to get annual mammograms. She received her own diagnosis after being six months late to her screening, she shared on her website. Mammograms can be lifesaving, and research shows they have reduced breast cancer deaths by nearly 40% since 1990.
