Mamografías
-
Una mamografía es una imagen de la mama tomada con rayos X. Los médicos usan las mamografías para buscar signos de cáncer de mama en sus etapas iniciales. Las mamografías habituales son las mejores pruebas con que cuentan los médicos para detectar el cáncer de mama en sus etapas iniciales, a veces hasta tres años antes de que se pueda sentir.
-
El Grupo de Trabajo recomienda que las mujeres entre 50 y 74 años de edad, que tengan un riesgo promedio de cáncer de mama, se hagan una mamografía cada dos años. Las mujeres entre 40 y 49 años de edad deben hablar con su médico u otro profesional de la salud sobre cuándo deberían comenzar a hacerse mamografías y con qué frecuencia. Las mujeres deberían sopesar los riesgos y beneficios de las pruebas de detección para decidir si deben empezar a hacerse mamografías antes de los 50 años de edad.
