October is Breast cancer awareness month, For most women at average risk, a mammogram every two years starting at age 40 is the current standard. That recommendation, updated in 2024 by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), shifted the starting age down from 50 to 40 and applies through age 74. But the schedule isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your age, breast density, and family history can all change how often you should be screened. Be sure to check yourself regularly and get any suspicious spots or bumps checked out, don’t wait!
