So annual mammograms remain the best option for detecting cancer early, providing a greater chance for a cure and reducing the risk of death from breast cancer.
The main concern about mammograms for breast cancer screening is the chance of a false-positive result. This means that something unusual is detected but, after additional testing, it turns out to not be cancer. False-positives are more likely to occur in your 40s and 50s. If an area of concern is detected on a mammogram, you'll be asked to undergo additional mammogram imaging and, possibly, ultrasound imaging.
These tests may determine that the area of concern that was detected isn't likely to be cancer. In certain situations, you may need to undergo a biopsy procedure to remove a sample of breast tissue for testing.
Often, having a biopsy that confirms there isn't any cancer present is reassuring and doesn't increase anxiety. If you're concerned about when to start mammograms and how often to repeat them, work with your doctor to make an informed decision. Together you can decide what's best for you based on your personal preferences, your medical history, your family history and your individual breast cancer risk. Sandhya Pruthi, M.
