Regular screenings can help detect breast cancer early, when it is most treatable. Catching breast cancer early can make a big difference in outcomes and survival rates. How screenings work A mammogram is the most common breast cancer screening. This X-ray procedure is used to detect issues in breast tissue. Mammograms are so effective that they can detect breast cancer before you have symptoms. They can even see breast changes or lumps that are too small to feel. When you get regular screening mammograms, your healthcare provider can track changes in your breast tissue over time. This helps with early detection and gives you more treatment options and better health outcomes. According to the latest recommendations from healthcare professionals, women should begin breast cancer screenings at age 40. They should also continue screenings at least once every two years. This change highlights the importance of regular screening and early detection. Call PresRN at (505) 923-5677 in Albuquerque or toll-free at 1-888-730-2300. If you are having a medical emergency, please call 911. Why early detection matters Rewards for you Did you know that Turquoise Care offers an incentive for completing breast cancer screenings?
