Breast Cancer remains a leading cause of death among American women, yet little is known about its etiology and prevention. Screening mammography is currently the best preventative measure available to women, but comprehensive oversight of this procedure is necessary in order to minimize and, ultimately, eliminate “errors” that compromise quality and accuracy and give too many women a false sense of security. This Note describes our nation's battle against Breast Cancer, emphasizes the need for uniform, mandatory quality and safety standards for screening mammography, and outlines The Mammography Quality Standards Act of 1992, which seeks to provide the framework necessary to implement such standards and restore the preventative power of this procedure. This Note analyzes the terms of the Act and concludes that the Act could provide women with the true sense of security that has eluded so many women - too many women - for so long.
