Taking Control of Your Health with Breast Cancer Screening
Practical advice and expert care
Screening is one of the most important things you can do for your health, as catching issues early often leads to much better outcomes. We want to provide the Arlington community with the clear information and advanced tools needed to stay on top of these health goals with confidence.
Recommendations by age
When to Start Your Screenings
Deciding when to start mammograms is a personal choice, but having a clear timeline helps. If you are between 40 and 44, you have the option to start annual screenings. Once you reach 45, we recommend getting a mammogram every year. After age 55, many women switch to a screening every two years, though you can certainly continue annual exams if that feels right for your health and lifestyle. We are here to help you keep track of these milestones so your preventative care stays on schedule.
Tailored assessments for your history
Understanding Your Personal Risk
Every woman’s health history is unique, and your screening plan should reflect that. Certain factors might mean you need more frequent or specialized monitoring, such as a family history of breast cancer, dense breast tissue, or specific genetic markers like BRCA1 or BRCA2. If you have a higher lifetime risk—around 20% or more—or if you had chest radiation therapy when you were younger, our team will work closely with you to ensure your screening plan is as thorough as possible.
Tips for a comfortable visit
Preparing for Your Appointment
A standard mammogram is quick, usually taking only 10 to 15 minutes. To make the experience more comfortable, try to schedule your visit for the week after your period, when breast tenderness is usually at its lowest. On the day of your exam, please avoid using deodorant, lotion, or perfume on your chest or underarm area. These products can show up as shadows on the digital images, which can interfere with getting a clear and accurate result.
