y women as every three years [but] we've gone every three years to be safer."

According to Brawley, ACOG's new cervical cancer guidelines "look amazingly" like the 2002 American Cancer Society guidelines.

The ACS does not agree with the new USPSTF guidelines for breast cancer screening, however.

"Our view is that breast cancer screening saves lives and women aged 40 and above should get a high quality mammogram and clinical breast exam on an annual basis," Brawley said.

Ochsner Health System's Brooks is not changing his advice to women. "I tell women at age 40, if she wants to begin screening with mammography, it's fine," he said. "I haven't changed what I'm recommending in my practice but I try to explain to women what the rationale behind it is."
