What Is a Mammogram?

A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast that doctors use to look for early signs of breast cancer in the breast tissue and surrounding areas.

You might be wondering if you need to get a mammogram if you do breast self-examinations every month — the answer is yes. A mammogram is considered the best test for detecting breast cancer early and can even help find cancer up to three years before you might feel a lump. Finding breast cancer early makes it much easier to treat.
