Breast Cancer: Why Early Detection Matters
Finding breast cancer early can improve treatment options and outcomes. A mammogram may detect cancer before symptoms appear, while knowing how your breasts normally look and feel can help you notice changes sooner. If something abnormal is found, additional testing can provide answers and guide treatment.
Knowing your risk, staying current with screening and reporting breast changes can make a meaningful difference.
