Breast Screening Guidelines
At Lahey Health, we follow the American Cancer Society guidelines for breast health screenings. These include the following recommendations:
- Start annual mammograms between the ages of 40 and 44 if you choose to.
- Get an annual mammogram between ages 45 and 54.
- Get a mammogram every two years after age 55 or continue yearly screenings if you wish.
- Women with a high lifetime risk for developing breast cancer (above 20 percent) should get a mammogram and breast MRI every year starting at age 30.
Women with a moderate breast cancer lifetime risk between 15 and 20 percent should talk with their doctor about the benefits and limitations of breast MRI screenings.
