If the woman has a first degree relative or young relative with breast cancer or significant risk factors, you can start mammos even BEFORE 35, but NOT before 30 as the breasts are too dense.

Just to add: The ONLY Contraindications to Mammo: 1. age < 20 because breasts are too dense 2. lactating female because all you'll see is milk *BUT we CAN do a mammo in a Pregnant woman*
