How often should you get tested?
Most experts recommend annual mammograms for women 50 and over. There is still some disagreement about how often women in their forties should get tested. The American Cancer Society recommends an annual mammogram. The National Cancer Institute and the American Academy of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommend mammograms every one to two years.
