Facts about Mammograms

Myth

I'm too young to worry about breast cancer.

Fact

Breast cancer risk increases as you get older, but women of all ages are at risk.

An increasing number of women under 40 are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Do breast self exams!

For Your Mammogram

  • Wear two-piece, comfortable clothing.
  • Refrain from using deoderant, lotions or powders around the breast and underarm.

Do I Need A Doctor's Order?

  • If you are 35 or older, you are not required to have a doctor's order for a screening mammogram. However, you must have a doctor who will accept your results and oversee any necessary follow-up care.
  • If you are under 35, have a history of breast cancer in the last five years, or have a new concern (lump, pain, nipple discharge, etc.) you must have a doctor's order.

Henda's Law

  • If your mammogram demonstrates that you have dense breast tissue, which could hide abnormalities, and you have other risk factors for breast cancer that have been identified, you might benefit from supplemental screening tests that may be suggested by your ordering physician.
  • Dense breast tissue, in and of itself, is a relatively common condition. Therefore, this information is not provided to cause undue concern, but rather to raise your awareness and to promote discussion with your physician regarding the presence of other risk factors, in addition to dense breast tissue.
  • A report of your mammogram results will be sent to you and your physician. You should contact your physician if you have any questions or concerns regarding this report.
  • Learn more about this law from the Texas Radiological Society.
