🩷🗓️ Breast cancer awareness is a focus throughout the month of October and National Mammography Day on October 16 is an excellent time to remind eligible women and men to schedule their mammogram if they have not already. Current guidelines recommend mammograms for women aged 40 to 74 at average risk for breast cancer every two years; Recommendations may differ for those with a higher risk level, which includes a number of factors.
Studies have shown that mammograms can detect a cancerous mass far before a lump can be felt during a manual breast self-exam. Take charge of your health and schedule yours today!
