Why Do You Need a Mammogram®?
-
A mammogram is a specific type of breast exam used to aid in the early detection and diagnosis of breast diseases in women.
-
When conducted annually for women over 40, they can help catch early stages of breast cancer and other diseases.
-
Most women – three out of four — diagnosed with breast cancer have had no family history of the disease.
-
According to the American College of Radiology, for every 1,000 women who have a screening mammogram, 100 will be called back for another look, and 61 will find nothing wrong after follow-up imaging. Only five of those 1,000 will ultimately be diagnosed with breast cancer after further testing, according to the ACR.
