Mammogram
A mammogram is one of the most important preventative measures a woman can take to maintain breast health. According to the American Cancer Society, approximately one in eight women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. At our care center, we offer 3D mammograms, the most effective screening method for breast cancer to help with early detection. To make your appointment more convenient, we can schedule your mammogram and annual well woman visit on the same day.
Mammogram Q & A
What is a mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to screen for breast cancer. Breast cancer is a disease in which cells in the breast grow out of control. For many women, mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Regular mammograms are recommended for women starting at age 40, or earlier if there is a family history of breast cancer.
