mammogram

X-rays called mammograms are offered to women between the age of 50 and 71 every three years to check for signs of cancer, but can currently only be performed by female staff.

Though genetic screening and a recent mammogram had come back clear for her, she took an online exam called the Tyrer-Cuzick risk assessment test.

Just as we have timelines for things like mammograms and colonoscopies, I would love to see timelines for menopause training where at age 35, we start explaining symptoms to women.

The study, which includes questionnaires, genetic testing and low-dose mammograms, has already recruited 500 women aged 30 to 39, with another 500 to be recruited.

At the appointments, X-rays known as mammograms are taken to look for cancers that are too small to see or feel.
