Breast Exams and Mammograms
We endorse the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and American Cancer Society (ACS) guidelines for breast cancer screening, which recommend yearly mammograms for women ages 40 and above, as well as yearly clinical breast exams (CBEs).
We also recommend periodic self breast exams (SBEs) to all of our patients, regardless of age.
We work with the Beth Israel Lahey Health Breast Center – Plymouth and often refer our younger patients who may be at higher risk for breast cancer there, as well as anyone who may have an abnormal mammogram or breast exam finding.
