Why are screening mammograms important? Screening mammograms are important because they can detect breast cancer early, often years before symptoms develop. Finding cancer at an early stage makes it easier to treat and greatly increases the chances of a successful outcome. Regular screenings can also help identify changes in breast tissue over time, giving you and your care team peace of mind and the best chance to stay healthy. How can I schedule a screening mammogram? You can schedule a screening mammogram by visiting Luminis.Health/Schedule-Mammo or calling 888-909-9729.

Screening Mammograms
What is a screening mammogram?
A screening mammogram is a breast imaging test. Mammography uses low-dose x-rays to take pictures of your breast tissue. This allows radiologists to see lumps or abnormal tissue.
You may think, "Can't I just feel my breasts for lumps?" Self-exams are important, but you still need a mammogram. Your mammogram can find lumps that are too small to feel through the skin.
