Breast disease does not have to be a killer! 1

The American Cancer Society has established guidelines for mammography in asymptomatic women. (Women who have no symptoms of disease). Those guidelines have been adopted by the American Medical Association, The American College of Radiology and others. Those guidelines are: 1. 35-40 years of age—One baseline mammogram. 2. 40-50 years of age—A mammogram every 1-2 years

depending on breast type and risk factor. 3. 50 years of age and over—An annual physical examination

and annual mammogram. A screening mammogram is an x-ray of the breast using extremely low dosages of radiation and designed to find very early cancers. A female technologist who is highly trained in mammography will perform the examination. Appointments are recommended. The Unit accepts cash, check Visa and MasterCard.
