6. Mammograms

Mammogram recommendations vary by age. The American Cancer Society recommends women between the ages of 40 and 44 be given the choice to begin annual testing. From 45 to 54, women can continue with yearly screenings but having a mammogram every two years is recommended. Women 55 and older should continue to have them every two years as long as they are in good health.
