American Cancer Society Guidelines

To find breast cancer in women without symptoms, the American Cancer Society recommends the following:

Women age 40 and older should have a mammogram every year and should continue to do so for as long as they are in good health. While mammograms can miss some cancers, they are still a good way to find cancer.

Women at high risk

Women at high risk of breast cancer should talk with their doctor about the best approach for them. This might mean starting mammograms when they are younger, having extra tests or having more frequent exams.
