The American Cancer Society recommends annual screening mammograms for women beginning at 40. However, a strong family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, such as a personal history of ovarian cancer, Hodgkin’s disease or a prior breast biopsy that showed high risk, may screening to begin at an earlier age. Such individuals should consult with their physician.
The Siteman Cancer Center Mammography Van can perform screening mammograms for women without a written referral from their physician if they meet these criteria:
- Age 40 or over
- Not had a mammogram in the past 12 months
- No signs or symptoms of breast cancer (such as lumps or dimpling)
- No breast implants
- No history of breast cancer
- Not currently pregnant
Women between 35 and 39, meet the last five criteria above and have cause to begin earlier screening, must have a doctor’s written referral. Women younger than 35 cannot be screened on the van.
The examination fee will be billed directly to the patient, her insurance company or Medicare. Bring your Insurance card to the appointment.
