Breast Cancer Awareness
Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women. About 1 in 8 women born today in the United States will get breast cancer at some point.
The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. A mammogram – the screening test for breast cancer – can help find breast cancer early when it’s easier to treat.
Mammogram Do’s and Don’ts
Mammograms help detect breast cancer early, which is why it’s important to prepare for this screening correctly.
Whether you’ve never had a mammogram before or feel like you’ve had far too many, following these tips can help you get the most from this vital breast exam.
Do You Really Need That Mammogram?
Mammograms may rival colonoscopies for the least-favorite screening test among women.
