Mammography: Women aged 40+ years annually; earlier and more frequent screening for high-risk (family history, BRCA+, prior radiation)

Many cancers are detected at earlier stages through regular screening in asymptomatic individuals at risk. Speak with your healthcare provider about recommended screening protocols based on your age, family history, and risk factors.
