SUMMARY:Screen Test
DESCRIPTION:Is it time for your mammogram?\nScreen Test is coming to Diamond Valley July 2 to 4\, 2026\nScreen Test is a free service provided by Primary Care Alberta that offers screening mammograms. Our mobile screening units travel to 120 communities throughout Alberta to provide convenient access to breast cancer screening. \nHaving regular screening mammograms is the best way to find breast cancer early\, before symptoms appear and when treatment may work better. \nWho should have a screening mammogram?\nIf you’re 45 to 74\, you don’t need a referral to have a mammogram. Make screening part of your regular health routine. Plan to have a mammogram every 2 years or as decided by you and your healthcare provider. \nIf you’re 40 to 44 or over 75\, discuss the risks and benefits of screening with your healthcare provider. You will need a referral if you’re 40 to 44 and it’s your first mammogram\, or if you’re over 75. \nCall toll-free to book an appointment: 1-800-667-0604 \nBreast density scores are now included in your Screen Test result letter\nBreast density is the amount of dense tissue compared to the amount of fat in a person’s breasts. It can be harder to find cancer in dense breasts because this tissue appears white on a mammogram\, the same colour as many kinds of breast cancer. It’s common to have dense breast tissue. \nDense breasts are only one of many risk factors for breast cancer. Other factors\, such as age and genetics\, have a bigger impact on your overall risk. You can’t tell how dense your breasts are by size\, look or feel. The only way to find out is by having a mammogram. \nTalk to your healthcare provider about your breast density score and your personal risk of breast cancer. \nFor more information on Screen Test and breast cancer screening\, visit screeningforlife.ca/breast
