I'm a woman over 40. Should I be concerned about getting a mammogram?

It is important for women to have regular mammograms starting at age 40, as breast cancer can occur in younger women too. However, the risk of developing breast cancer decreases with each decade after your 40s. Therefore, it is not necessary to get a mammogram every year, but you should consult with your doctor to determine what schedule is best for you.
