EUSOBI and 30 national breast radiology bodies support mammography for population-based screening, demonstrated to reduce breast cancer (BC) mortality and treatment impact. According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the reduction in mortality is 40 \% for women aged 50-69 years taking up the invitation while the probability of false-positive needle biopsy is < 1 \% per round and overdiagnosis is only 1-10 \% for a 20-year screening. Mortality reduction was also observed for the age groups 40-49 years and 70-74 years, although with ``limited evidence{''}. Thus, we firstly recommend biennial screening mammography for average-risk women aged 50-69 years
