Biginning at age 40, all women should get regular mammagrams to screen for breast cancer. The power of screening comes with regular exams because docters can look at previouse mammagrams to study any possible changes. Early diagnosis and treatment is still the best weapon against almost all types of cancer.

Would like to add that I was just informed that there is a specific cancer that targets black women, and by the time a mammogram, is needed at the recommendation, the cancer has spread.
I just learned this in a class I attended a couple of weeks ago, and I believe black women are being urged to have mammograms as early as 30 years of age.
