Welcome! The Borough of Seaside Park, located on the Barnegat Barrier Island in Ocean County, New Jersey, was incorporated in 1898. Seaside Park is a small town of only 0.77 square miles with a year-round population of just over 2,200 residents. With almost two miles of shoreline on the Atlantic Ocean, the boroughâs main industry is summer tourism.
For years, the American Cancer Society (ACS) urged women to start mammograms at age 40, but they recently changed their guidelines. They now recommend beginning them at age 45, or at 40 if the patient chooses.
The recommendations say: 1  Women with average breast cancer risk should start annual mammograms at age 40. 2  Women with a much higher-than-average risk of breast cancer should start breast cancer screening at least by age 30, but not before age 25. Screening mammograms for women with average breast cancer risk should start at age 50, rather than 40. 2  Only women at very high risk should start breast cancer screening younger than 50. 3  Mammograms should be done every other year instead of every year.
