Screening mammography is a precise technique, but occasionally additional views are requested to clarify details. If additional testing is needed, you will be notified by mail to assure appropriate follow-up. Breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 35 and 55. Mammography can detect breast cancer before a breast lump can be felt. The majority of women who develop breast cancer do not have any risk factors for the disease.
Some women are at greater risk than others because of genetic and lifestyle factors.
However, It is important to talk to your doctor if you think you are at high risk of developing breast cancer. To schedule an appointment at any of The James' mammography facilities, call Mammography Services. Call to schedule a group screening for a business, agency, club or organization, or to get a schedule of upcoming community screening locations for an individual mammogram.
