Screening mammography is a low-dose X-ray examination of a woman’s breasts that detects breast cancer. Screening mammography is performed on women who have no symptoms of breast disease.
Increased Risk Considerations: Women with an increased risk of breast cancer, such as a family history, genetic predisposition, or a history of breast cancer, should engage in an informed discussion with their healthcare providers. This conversation should encompass the benefits and limitations of starting mammography screening earlier, considering additional tests like breast ultrasound or MRI, or opting for more frequent exams.
Personalized Risk Assessment: Each woman’s breast cancer risk is unique, and it is crucial to talk with your healthcare provider about your personal risk factors. This personalized evaluation will help determine the appropriate age to initiate mammograms and the recommended screening frequency tailored to your individual needs.
Updated USPSTF Recommendations:In May 2023, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) updated its recommendations, advising women to begin breast cancer screening with mammograms at age 40. Regular screening mammograms can play a significant role in early detection and improved treatment outcomes.
If your breasts tend to be tender during the week before or during your menstrual period, it’s best to avoid scheduling your mammogram during this time. Instead, try to schedule the exam one to two weeks after your period starts for more comfort and accurate results.
On the day of your mammogram, refrain from using any deodorant, powder, lotion, or perfume on your breasts or underarms. These products may interfere with the mammography results.
During the mammogram, you will need to remove your clothing from the waist up and change into a patient gown. A secure locker will be provided for your personal belongings. To ensure clear images and prevent interference, remove all piercings and leave all jewelry and valuables at home.
 If you have breast implants, please inform the medical office when scheduling your mammogram. Special considerations may be required for women with breast implants during the imaging process.
