According to AHS, a mammogram is an effective way of detecting breast cancer.

Women aged 50-74 are the most at risk for developing breast cancer, so women in that age group in those areas are encouraged to book an appointment for a screen test, or learn more about the testing by calling 1-800-667-0604.
