Annual Mammogram Screening For Women

The nation's largest and most respected women's health care group, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) updated their breast cancer screening guidelines yesterday. In the new guidelines, which are concurrent with other major health groups, ACOG now recommends that women have annual mammograms beginning at age 40. The group previously recommended mammogram screening to begin at age 40, but not annually. Previous ACOG recommendations stated women should begin having yearly mammograms at age 50.
