Mammography
TELL A FRIEND about the importance of mammography. It just may save her life. The American Cancer Society’s screening guidelines:
1. Have a mammogram each year beginning at age 40.
2. Get an annual breast exam from your health professional – every three years for women in their 20s and 30s, every year for women 40 and older.
3. Know how your breasts normally feel and report any changes promptly to your health care provider. Breast self-exams are an option for women in their 20s.
Women at increased risk should talk to their doctors about the benefits and limitations of early mammography or more frequent exams. This program is an excellent activity for women’s groups
