Breast cancer screening guidelines can be confusing. UAMS follows guidelines recommended by the American College of Radiology, Society of Breast Imaging and the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Those guidelines include:
🩷For Average-Risk Women:
Begin annual mammograms at age 40
If you have dense breast tissue, supplemental imaging may be recommended—talk with your provider or one of our radiologists at the UAMS Health Breast Center
🩷For Higher-Risk Women:
Begin risk assessment by age 25 (completed for every patient at the UAMS Health Breast Center)
Personalized screening may involve earlier mammograms and annual breast MRIs
Screening may begin before age 40, but not before age 30, depending on your history
🩷All Women Should:
Begin breast awareness at age 25
Report symptoms like lumps, ni**le discharge or persistent pain Work with your provider to develop a screening plan based on your risk
