QUESTIONS ABOUT SCREENING GUIDELINES?

We're grateful that the American Cancer Society, along with many other research entities, continues to perform exhaustive research on this subject.
That said, the release of these reports often cause confusion among our patients.
Sheridan Memorial Radiology follows Billings Clinic Radiologists recommendations of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network, the Society of Breast Imaging and the American College of Radiology, which recommend annual mammography beginning at age 40.
The maximum lifesaving benefits of mammography are when done at yearly intervals, beginning at the age of 40, for women with average risk.
We feel the benefit of detecting breast cancer earlier far outweighs the harm of false positives.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions that you may have.
