Should women with breast implants (including pacemakers or other medical devices) be screened?
I have breast implants. Can I come to BreastScreen SA? Yes. BreastScreen SA provides free screening mammograms at two-yearly intervals, primarily for women aged 50 to 69 without breast symptoms, regardless of whether or not they have breast implants. However, those women who have a breast implant following surgery for breast cancer are advised to attend their breast specialist for ongoing care, including annual mammograms. Further information for these women is provided in our brochure Have you had breast cancer in the past?.
