October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and a San Antonio cancer specialist is reminding women that knowing their risk and staying current on mammograms can play a key role in finding breast cancer early.

Dr. Jessica Trevio Jones, a breast medical oncologist and founder and director of the Cancer Risk Reduction and Education Clinic at UT Health San Antonio's Mays Cancer Center, joined the discussion to explain what women should know about screening, risk reduction, and treatment options.

For women at average risk, screening mammograms generally begin at age 40.
