New Mammogram Recommendations

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists had just recently changed their recommendations about breast cancer screening. Previous recommendations included mammograms every-other-year for women aged 40-49, but that has been changed to annual exams begining at age 40. Each woman's screening plan may still need to be individualized based on her own family history. Talk to your provider today about when you need a mammogram.
