Why Annual Mammograms Matter
Experts now recommend that all women begin yearly mammograms starting at age 40. Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Texas women, and cases are rising in younger age groups.
Mammograms can find cancer before symptoms appear—when it’s easiest to treat and survival rates are highest. Early detection truly saves lives.
