Friday is National Mammography Day
SUMMARY: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with the third Friday dedicated to National Mammography Day, emphasizing the importance of early detection through mammograms. Recent UC Davis research indicates that false positivesโwhen a mammogram prompts further tests despite a lack of cancerโcan discourage women from returning for future screenings. This follow-up process can be stressful, as women may worry about having cancer. However, health professionals stress that additional imaging is common and typically results in normal findings. It’s crucial for doctors to communicate the normalcy of false positives to encourage ongoing screening and promote awareness.
Dominic Garcia reports the day highlights how critical mammograms are in detecting the disease early.
