The review says mammography screening continues in Switzerland, where women aged 50 and older are recommended to have regular screenings. It explains that a 2014 report questioning routine screening did not impose a ban, and that the radiation dose from a modern mammogram is low compared with average annual exposure in the Netherlands.[S1]
