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.
However many women don't know at what to get a mammogram or how often to get one. According ot the National Cancer Institute, women in their 40s and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. Women with an elevated risk of breast cancer need to talk to thier doctor about how often and when to get a mammogram.
