I'd like to learn more about the benefits of mammograms.

Mammography is a screening test for breast cancer that uses low-dose x-rays to examine the breasts of women who are at average risk for developing the disease. It can detect early signs of breast cancer, which can help improve chances of successful treatment and survival rates. The American Cancer Society recommends that all women over the age of 40 should have annual mammograms as part of their routine preventive health care.
