When should screening begin?
While when and whether to get breast and cervical cancer screening is a personal choice, significant body of medical evidence shows early detection is a primary factor in the successful treatment of breast and cervical cancer. Recommended screening schedules are:
Breast Cancer Screening
- Age 40-74: All average-risk women should get a mammogram every two years starting at age 40.
Note: Women with certain risk factors should consider getting mammogram screening at an earlier age and more frequently. Ask your healthcare provider when the best time is for you to begin and maintain regular screenings.

Cervical Cancer Screening
Ages 21-29: Pap test every three years
Ages 30-65: Women in this age group may choose to get a Pap test every three years, a primary human papillomavirus test every five years or both tests every five years
Note: Women with certain risk factors or abnormal screening tests may need to be screened more often and/or screened beyond age 65. Ask your healthcare provider how often you should have a cervical cancer screening.
