What is the right age to get a mammogram?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mammogram age?: If your family history has women with early breast cancer ( mother, grandmother, sister) age 35 is appropriate for a digital mammogram. If your family history is negative for breast cancer, age 40 would be appropriate. if you have dense heavy breasts, annual mammograms after 40 is suggested.
