1 in 8 women in the United States will develop breast cancer in her lifetime; this equates to a 13% average lifetime risk.

For women at the average risk level, annual screening mammography should start at age 40.

Why 40?

• Breast cancer incidence increases substantially around age 40
• 1 in 6 breast cancers occur between 40-49
• 40% of years-of-life saved due to mammography are among women in their 40s

Why annually?

• Even for women 50+, skipping a mammogram every other year would miss up to 30% of cancers

Why at 40 and annually if only at average risk?

• 3 out of 4 women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history or identifiable risk factors
