The American Cancer Society recommends mammogram screening every year for all women age 40 and older. The National Cancer Institute and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommend mammogram screening every 1-2 years for women age 40 and older.
Guys. If this is you---over 40 and no mammogram yet---then now would be the time to make a phone call to set it up. Nuff said.
