Breast cancer screening saves lives.
Screening every 2 years reduces breast cancer deaths by 26% for every 1,000 women screened.
Screening has contributed to a 29% reduction in the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer that has spread to other parts of the body.
Almost 99% of women diagnosed with breast cancer at the earliest stage live for 5 years or more, compared to about 27% of those diagnosed at the most advanced stage.
Male breast cancer accounts for less than one percent of all breast cancer diagnoses. About one in 833 men will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.
Most importantly monitor your body for changes, update your healthcare provider and don't forget to schedule an annual physical!
