Early detection of breast cancer is key to early diagnosis and treatment. Breast cancer screenings start at age 40. Regular mammograms can detect breast cancer early, sometimes up to three years before it can be felt.
A mammogram is an X-ray image of the breast that is used to screen for and detect breast cancer. It plays a vital role in early breast cancer detection, leading to the well-being and longevity of patients. How often a woman should have a mammogram depends on her age and individual risk of breast cancer. Screening mammograms can help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer among women ages 40 to 74, especially for those over age 50.
At Mount Sinai, we want everyone to have access to quality care and testing. You can schedule your free or reduced-rate mammogram by calling:
