Does a mammogram find all breast cancer?
Mammography is the best test available, but it is not perfect. Between 10-15% of breast cancers may not show up on a mammogram. (But 85-90% do!) This makes breast self examination very important. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask us, or your doctor. The best way to detect breast cancer early is with combination of tests: your self-examination, your doctor’s examination, and frequent mammography.
