Your #1 Defense Against Breast Cancer
Preventative care for empowered health.
Mammograms aren’t just a normal part of life – they’re essential for lifelong health. Here’s everything you need to know about the screening.
What is a Mammogram?
A mammogram is an examination of the breasts under a low-dose x-ray. The resulting specialized medical image allows your doctor to see inside the breast and detect any masses or abnormalities linked to early-stage breast cancer.
Early detection saves lives, making mammograms an essential component of women’s healthcare.
Who Needs Mammograms?
Mammograms are critical for women over 40. Mammograms are also recommended for younger women with a family history of breast cancer or other cancers.
If you’re under 40, we recommend regular self-breast exams and a screening at your annual doctor’s visit. If anything stands out or feels suspicious, a mammogram can be prescribed sooner.
How Often Should I Schedule a Mammogram?
In addition to regular self-breast exams, mammograms should be scheduled on an annual basis beginning at age 40.
