The Benefits

Take Control – Act Early
A mammogram along with a breast exam by your doctor or other healthcare provider can find breast cancer early. Finding breast cancer early means that you have a better chance of surviving the disease. Mammograms could save your life!

The risk of getting breast cancer gets higher as you get older. That is why it’s important for women over age 40 to get regular mammograms.
