Digital Mammography
One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. Mammograms are an important step for women to be diagnosed early and get a head start on breast cancer treatment. Schedule your annual mammogram at Mercy Medical Center Mt. Shasta today.
Who Needs a Mammogram?
- Women age 40 and older should have an annual mammogram, according to the American Cancer Society
- Women with breast pain should seek a doctor’s evaluation
- Women who have dense breasts may need extra evaluation as dense (gland) tissue makes it harder to read a mammogram
- Women who feel a lump or abnormal growth should schedule an evaluation with their doctor
