Get Screened for Breast Cancer
Early detection reduces mortality from breast cancer. For women at average risk, the American College of Radiology recommends annual screening mammography beginning at age 40. Women at higher-than-average risk should generally begin surveillance with digital mammography (DM) at an earlier age and consider supplemental screening options.
