She walks through the different steps healthcare providers will take to screen breast health, from mammograms and ultrasounds to MRI's, tailored to each individual's age, health history, and risk factors. They discuss how to perform self-breast exams, including best practices for frequency, location, and what to look for. Dr. Roth also shares her advice on how to proceed if you detect something abnormal and what to ask for from your healthcare provider.
