Mammograms do work!

There are many screening tests that can be performed but not all are exactly cost effective. Mammograms are not one of them. A large research study with over 6000 patients showed that 3 out of 4 deaths due to breast cancer occur among women who DO NOT undergo regular mammogram screening. We recommend regular mammograms every year after the age of 40 and earlier if there is any increased family risk. This month is breast cancer awareness month so if you have not scheduled your yearly mammogram please do so.
