Numerous studies have shown that getting a mammogram and a breast exam reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer. Breast cancers found during a mammogram are more likely to be smaller and still confined to the breast. Finding breast cancer early can improve the chances that breast cancer can be treated successfully and with more treatment options, less extensive surgery, and ultimately, better treatment outcomes.
Beginning at age 40, women should have a conversation with their primary care provider about screening mammograms. Your provider can discuss your options and review your personal risk and if beginning these screenings is right for you. Women ages 50-74 should have a screening for breast cancer with mammography annually. All women should know how their breasts normally look and feel and should report any breast change promptly to their doctor or nurse. Breast self-exam (BSE) is an option for women starting in their 20s.
