What do I need to do if breast calcifications are found during a future mammogram?

Continue getting routine mammograms and discuss any concerns about breast calcifications with your provider. Generally, if you’re at average risk of breast cancer, you should begin routine screenings for breast cancer every one or two years, starting at age 40.

If your calcifications are potentially cancer-related, you may need additional imaging procedures or more frequent mammograms. Follow your provider’s guidance on the most appropriate mammogram follow-up for you.
