Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer

Breast cancer often has no signs or symptoms in its early stages. Early detection is important to improve treatment options, so it’s important to know how to check your breasts for changes. The American Cancer Society recommends that women receive an annual mammogram beginning at age 40, but it’s never too early to start being aware of breast health and checking for changes.
