Mammograms

I know from my conversations with women around the country, particularly older women, that far too many think they don't need mammograms because they are past their childbearing years.

Medical groups currently offer differing advice on mammograms. The American Cancer Society recommends women get annual mammograms from age 45 to 54 followed by screenings every other year after that, while the American College of Radiology recommends annual mammograms beginning at age 40.
