One of the biggest issues discussed at the 2011 National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCoBC) annual meeting was the controversy over proposed recommendations to increase the age for when women should begin regular mammogram screenings. NCoBC Program Director and Incoming President John Bell, FACS, explains how this issue was approached and discussed for presentation at this year's meeting.

NCoBC President Don Dizon, M.D., FACP, also discusses some of the highlights from the 2011 show and the fact it was the most well attended event in the show's 22-year history.
