Did you know?
Nearly 40,000 people die from breast cancer every year and it is the second-deadliest form of cancer for women.
However, breast cancer is highly curable if detected at an early stage, before it has spread to areas surrounding the breast.
What can I do to stop breast cancer?
Early Detection = Better Outcomes, and early detection of breast cancer is often possible with routine cancer screenings.
To improve your chances of catching breast cancer early:
- Schedule routine screenings
- Make healthy lifestyle choices
- Talk to your health care provider about your family health history (and not just breast cancer cases!)
