Mammograms play a vital role in the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer, the second most common cancer among women. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advises individuals at average risk to begin screening mammography at age 40, while those with higher risk factors or a family history should consult their healthcare provider about earlier screening. Early detection is key to improving treatment outcomes.
