Breast cancer is still the most common cancer in women. However, the chances of surviving breast cancer are higher the earlier it is detected and treated. Self-examinations and regular screenings are the best way to detect changes in your anatomy.

Breast cancer is most treatable when it’s found early — and mammography is one of the best tools doctors use to detect it before symptoms appear. Screening mammograms identify small changes in breast tissue that might suggest cancer, helping guide further evaluation and treatment.
Detecting breast cancer before symptoms appear greatly increases the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival. This is why regular screening and early awareness are cornerstones of effective breast health care — including mammograms, clinical exams, and supplemental imaging when needed.
If you’ve heard that mammogram screening might start before age 40, you’re not alone — ongoing research suggests that for some women, earlier breast cancer screening may be beneficial. Traditionally, most guidelines recommend routine mammography beginning around age 40, but experts emphasize the importance of personalized risk assessment.
