What does the second sentence mean?
Women who undergo mammography screening reduce their risk of dying from breast cancer by 40 percent, an international study published in the United States showed.

Researches reported that women aged 50 to 69 who received screening were 40 percent less likely to succumb to the decrease compared to women who were not screened.

According to the second sentence, which part is more likely to be suffered from breast cancer ? Women who go through a mammography or women who do not go through it ? I'm confused.

Answer

The women who do undergo the mammography screenings are the ones who reduce their chances of dying from breast cancer; it's less likely. :)
