Question

Which is the recommendation for who should receive a mammogram and how often?

Once a year for all women over 40

Every other year for healthy women over 40

Once a year for all women over 18

Once a year for all women over 18 with a family history of breast cancer

Answer 1

I would say women over 18 with a history of breast cancer, but young children won’t usually develop breast cancer...

Answer 2

The statement is once a year for women over 40 as they're more likely to develop breast cancer. Also it's once a year for all women over 18 with a family history of breast cancer as it is very rare to develop breast cancer as a child.
