A. After the first menstrual period and annually thereafter
B. Yearly after age 40
C. Every 3 years between ages 20 and 40 and annually thereafter
D. After the birth of the first child and every 2 years thereafter
Correct Answer: B. Yearly after age 40
Option B: Breast cancer is a common health problem for women ages 40-49 years old. The American Cancer Society recommends a mammogram yearly for women over age 40.
Options A, C, and D: The other statements are incorrect. It’s recommended that women between ages 20 and 40 have a professional breast examination (not a mammogram) every 3 years.
