The answer may depend on your age, personal health history, family history and individual risk factors. For more detail, go to the American Cancer Society Recommendations for the Early Detection of Breast Cancer: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/types/breast-cancer/screening-tests-and-early-detection/american-cancer-society-recommendations-for-the-early-detection-of-breast-cancer.html
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, consider asking your healthcare provider:
• Which breast cancer screenings are recommended for me?
• How often should I be screened?
• Does my family history affect my risk?
• Are there changes I should watch for and report?
• Should I consider speaking with a genetic counselor?
Breast cancer is much more common in women, but men can develop it, too. Anyone who notices an unusual breast change should talk with a healthcare provider.
Knowing what questions to ask can help you have a more informed conversation about your health.
