Screening by Decade
What should you be doing for your breast health in your 20s? Your 30s? Your 40s and beyond? This guide breaks it down by decade so you have a clear picture for wherever you are right now and what’s to come.
Breast Density 101
Dense breast tissue affects roughly 40% of women, and it can determine both your cancer risk and which screenings you need. This guide explains what density means, how it's measured, and what to ask your provider.
Mythbusting Breast Health

Your Family History and Your Risk
Having a first-degree relative who has had breast cancer nearly doubles your risk. This guide, My Family Health Portrait, from the Centers for Disease Control helps you gather and understand your family health history so you can have a more informed conversation with your provider.
Family History and Genetics
Learn what it means to have genetic risk for breast cancer, how it can be different or overlap with having relatives with the disease, and why having this knowledge matters.

Not everyone needs genetic testing — but some women do. This guide explains what the BRCA mutation is, who should consider testing, and what a positive result means for your screening plan.
