BI-RADS 3 on a mammogram means that changes were found that are probably benign. Even though these findings are unlikely to be cancer, your doctor will usually recommend repeating the exam in 6 months to monitor them.
Mammography is one of the main tests used to screen for breast cancer. BI-RADS is a classification system that helps doctors interpret mammogram results and determine the most appropriate next steps for each case.
For women at average risk, mammograms are generally recommended every 1 to 2 years starting around age 40. Recommendations may differ depending on health history and breast cancer risk.
