About Mammograms at MUSC Health

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women – but if detected early, the disease can usually be treated successfully.

Guidelines from the American College of Radiology (ACR) and Society of Breast Imaging (SBI) recommend annual mammograms for women age 40 and older. If you believe you are at risk for breast cancer, please contact your health care provider.

To schedule your annual mammogram, please contact us at 843-431-2659.

Breast Concerns

Keep in mind most changes are common and are not cancer. However, we understand these changes can be frightening, and it’s important to have them checked and properly diagnosed.
