Additional Information
The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends the following guidelines for women:
- If you are age 40 or older, mammograms should be done every year.
- Get yearly breast exams by your Health Care Provider.
- Perform monthly breast self-examinations.
If you do not have insurance and cannot afford a mammogram, the New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (NJCEED) may be able to help. Please visit their site for further information.
More information on Breast Cancer can be found on the National Institutes of Health Breast Cancer Homepage.
