Ensure that you hit all the right notes by following the recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force. For women at average risk of breast cancer who are between 50 and 74 years old, it is recommended to get a mammogram every two years. Women aged 40 to 49 should consult their primary care provider to discuss when to start getting mammograms and how frequently to have them.

As we wrap up our musical journey through breast cancer screening, we hope you’ve learned how staying informed and proactive can help lead you to living a healthy and vibrant life. So, let’s keep the rhythm going—make sure to schedule your regular screenings and encourage your friends and family to do the same.
