Breast Cancer Awareness: It’s Ageless

Your breast health by decade.
A lifelong approach to breast health.

20s

Know Your Normal

Start monthly breast self-exams to build your own breast awareness.

30s

Have the Conversation

Assess breast cancer risk factors with your physician, which will determine your lifetime screening regimen.

40s

Get Your Mammogram

Begin annual screening if you are of average risk with no family history. Your first mammogram will also identify whether you have dense breast tissue, which can increase your risk for breast cancer.

50s

Mammos & Menopause

Breast tissue and breast cancers are very sensitive to changes in hormones. Women should be consistent with their mammograms — this is not the time to skip.

60s

Continue the Habit

Annual mammograms year in and year out are one of the best habits a woman can develop.

70s

It’s the New 60

When to stop getting a mammogram is not age-related, it’s health-related. Keep doing what keeps you healthy.
