The Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, but early detection saves lives. Studies show that early-stage detection through mammograms can reduce breast cancer mortality by up to 40%.
By choosing Ultrasound Associates USA, you’re taking a proactive step toward your long-term health and wellness.
Who Should Consider a Mammogram?
If you’re unsure whether you need a mammogram, here are some guidelines recommended by medical experts:
✔️ Women aged 40 and older: Should have a screening mammogram every 1-2 years.
✔️ Women with a family history of breast cancer: Should consult their doctor about starting earlier screenings.
✔️ Women experiencing any of the following symptoms:
- Skin changes (redness, dimpling, or scaling)
- Breast lumps or thickening
- Unexplained pain in the breast or underarm
- Changes in breast size or shape
- Nipple discharge or inversion
Mammography plays a crucial role in early detection, even for those with no symptoms.
