MYTH: Women without a family history of breast cancer are not at risk.
TRUTH: The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no close relatives with this disease. Regardless of family history, discuss mammography guidelines and schedule regular screenings with your health clinician. The biggest risk factors for breast cancer are being a woman and growing older.
MYTH: Mammograms are unsafe and painful.
TRUTH: With today’s modern technology, radiation levels are low and not harmful. Modern mammography equipment is designed to minimize the degree of discomfort. Since breasts can be tender just before or after menstruation, women may prefer to schedule a mammogram at a different time.
MYTH: Having silicone breast implants increases your chance of breast cancer.
TRUTH: Silicone breast implants can cause the formation of scar tissue in the breast, but several studies have found that they do not increase breast cancer risk.
