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.
Women at higher risk of breast cancer should not wait until they are 50 to have regular mammograms. Please remember that the higher ageâ 50â is only a guideline (not a strict rule) and only for screening women with no symptoms and not at high risk of breast cancer.. Most women who have a mother, sister, or grandmother who had breast cancer at the age of 50 or older, or who are at high risk of breast cancer because of obesity or other reasons, should have regular mammograms (every one or two years) starting at age 40.
