The Canadian Cancer Society recommends the following guidelines:
- Women between the ages of 50 to 69 have a mammogram every two years.
o If you are between the ages of 40 and 49, discuss your risk of breast cancer and the benefits and risks of mammography with your doctor.
o If you are 70 or older, talk to your doctor about a screening program for you.
- Have a clinical breast examination by a trained health professional at least every two years if you are over the age of 40.
- Get to know your breasts. Talk to your doctors about any changes.
