Women should get breast cancer screenings starting at age 40

• An influential panel said Tuesday that women should begin getting mammograms every other year starting when they’re 40 years old, instead of waiting until 50
• Dr. Deborah Longley, who’s been interpreting mammograms for more than three decades, believes women should start screening at 40. She points to examples of patients whose cancer was so small, sometimes less than a centimeter in size, they wouldn’t be able to feel it.
• 3D mammograms are an important tool in early detection because they can help doctors see breast cancer more clearly than traditional 2D mammograms. This can help doctors to identify cancer that may not be visible on a traditional 2D mammogram.

“The youngest breast cancer (diagnosis) I’ve seen is 21,” Longley said.

She says it’s common to see women in their 40s who have this cancer and is glad to see new recommendations encouraging them to get tested sooner.

“It is really good news. And lives will be saved. I think that’s what’s important,” Longley said.
