Breast cancer screenings are important tools to find cancer before symptoms are noticeable, says the American Cancer Society.
The society provides these screening guidelines for women:
- Women aged 40-to-44 should consider screenings and mammograms.
- Women aged 45-to-54 should get yearly mammograms.
- Women age 55 and older should get bi-yearly mammograms.
Some women, due to family history, genetics or other factors should be screened with an MRI, along with a mammogram.
The ACS reminds women to know how their breasts normally look and feel, so they can report any changes to a doctor right away.
