Breast Cancer Screening
Many of you have asked us about the revised breast cancer screening guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. We are currently evaluating those recommendations.
However, you should also know that the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Cancer Society have not changed their guidelines. Generally, these are the guidelines with which Women’s Healthcare Associates has been in agreement:
Our priority is always our patients’ health. This means we will consult with you on an individual basis and provide you with the reliable information you need to make decisions. Some women, with higher risk histories, will choose more frequent screening. Others, such as younger women with low-risk histories, may choose less frequent screening. The choice is both personal and individual. We are here to help provide the information you need to understand and decide.
