    • Screening should continue as long as a woman is in good health and is expected to live 10 more years or longer.

    When will I get the results?

    Each patient will receive a summary of the mammography report written in lay terms within 30 days of the mammographic examination. If assessments are “Suspicious” or “Highly suggestive of malignancy,” the facility shall make reasonable attempts to ensure that the results are communicated to the patient as soon as possible.
