Mammogram Screening Singapore
Last updated: Apr 06, 2026
What Is a Mammogram?
A mammogram is an X-ray
image of the breast. Medical professionals examine these images for early signs of breast
cancer. Regular mammograms are considered the most reliable and
recommended way to detect breast cancer before a lump can be felt. Detecting the
disease early allows doctors to start treatment sooner, which significantly improves the chance
of successful recovery.
For those with a higher risk, such as individuals with
BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations or a family history of breast cancer, more frequent and varied health screenings
are advised. Please consult our friendly female doctor to
learn more.

How Often Should Mammograms Be Done?
How often should mammograms be done after 50? Are mammograms necessary every year? When should
mammograms be done? These are indeed valid and common questions.
The following are Ministry of Health (MOH)'s
recommendations on breast cancer screening:
| Age Group | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Women 50 years old and above | Screening every 2 years is recommended |
| Women between 40 and 49 years old | Annual screening is recommended |
| Women below 40 years old | No screening required, unless you are in the high risk category |
Who Is at High Risk of Breast Cancer?
Women classified as high risk should speak with a doctor regarding the appropriate screening schedule. Generally, women in this category may have a history of:
1. Breast cancer in several close family members.
2. Other cancers, especially cancer of the ovary and colon, as well as breast
cancer, in members of the same family.
3. Breast cancer in a close relative under the age of 40.
