Breast Cancer Screening Recommendations
Breast cancer screening can help find breast cancer early, when the chances of survival are highest.
How We’re Helping |
Thanks in part to Susan G. Komen®’s investment in research in early detection and treatment, the breast cancer mortality (death) rate declined 41 percent from 1989-2018 in women in the U.S. [1]. |

Women Should Have Access to and Coverage for Mammography |
Susan G. Komen® believes all women should have access to regular screening mammograms when they and their health care providers decide it is best based on their personal risk of breast cancer. In addition, screening should be covered by insurance companies, government programs and other third-party payers. |
