Getting a callback after a mammogram can be unsettling, but it doesn't automatically mean you have breast cancer. Often, radiologists simply need more information, such as additional mammogram views or an ultrasound, to get a clearer picture.
Depending on your results, follow-up testing may include a diagnostic mammogram, ultrasound or, in some cases, a breast MRI or biopsy. Breast density can also make mammograms more difficult to read and may affect screening recommendations.
The most important thing to remember: don't skip your annual mammogram. Regular screenings, along with annual wellness visits and attention to any new breast symptoms, play an important role in protecting your breast health.
