Breast cancer can affect anybody — male and female — which is why everyone should be familiar with their body and what is normal for them.
According to www.womenshealth.gov, the National Cancer Institute recommends women 40 years and older should get a mammogram every one to two years.
Also, women who have had breast cancer or other breast problems, or a family history of breast cancer, might need to get mammograms before the age of 40 and at a more frequent rate.
If you are a female between 40 and 69 years old, you are not currently experiencing any breast problems and you know you have not had a mammogram in more than 12 months, you can self-refer for your mammogram by calling the Mammography Department at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center at 06371-86-8155 or 7637 or 486-8155 or 7637.
If you are currently having any breast concerns, schedule an appointment with your primary care provider at 479-2273 or 06371-46-2273.
For any questions regarding mammography, for more information, or if you aren’t sure when your last exam was performed, call the Disease Management Team Ramstein at 06371-46-2568 or 479-2568.
Call 06371-46-2273 or 479-2273 (CARE) to schedule an appointment with your provider.
