At what age should I get examined for breast cancer if it runs in my family?
Feb 11, 2013

Dr. Karim Nawfal Obstetrics & Gynecology
Any woman should start having annual breast exam starting the age of 20 and she should be taught how to do her monthly self breast exam.
Mammographies usually start between the age of 35-40 for the first time.
However when there is a family history we should test at an earlier age. Consult your physician so that an appropriate evaluation is done and an adequate screening can be scheduled.
