lines for Breast Cancer Detection - when to start mammograms?

A

Normal Risk:
Annual Mammograms starting age 45 (40-45 optional)

Age 55 and older every other year as long as they are in good health and have life expectancy of 10 years or more.

47
Q

American Cancer Society Guide-
lines for Breast Cancer Detection - high risk

A

High Risk:
