Thanks. If I’m reading it right (tired tonight), all 1217 had been vaccinated, and 9 had malignant results, or about 0.74%. Given that women getting mammograms are at higher risk (age, felt a lump, family history), is this out of the ordinary? I don’t know. I’m not a doctor.

Okay, yes, it matches up with the study you linked, so not out of the ordunary:

“A small percentage of women, according to the American Cancer Society, are called back for additional tests following their initial mammogram. Ten percent of women return and of that percentage only 8 to 10 percent are biopsied. Eighty percent of biopsies come back benign.”
