--Mammograms every year starting at age 40.
--Women under 40 with a family history of breast cancer or other concerns should talk with a health care provider. Screening tests may be needed more often and/or started earlier.
--Clinical breast exams by a health care provider at least every 3 years starting at age 20, and every year after 40.
--Breast self-exams every month starting by age 20.
