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 American Cancer Society recommends mammography every 2 years for women ages 55 and older [14]. Other health organizations recommend women 50-69 have mammograms every year [15]. For a summary of research studies on mammography in women ages 50-69, visit the Breast Cancer Research Studies section.
