Note: the 2B+ figure referenced on our homepage reflects women aged 35 and older worldwide — the broader population in which breast cancer is increasingly being diagnosed. The “women over age 40” figures in this table reflect the narrower population for whom regular mammography screening is typically recommended, which is the basis for the coverage percentages shown here.
