Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent cancers affecting women. 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime [1]. However, thanks to advancements in medical technology and increased breast cancer awareness and early detection, survival rates are higher than ever before. The key to these success stories? Early detection.

  • Mammograms can detect breast cancer up to two years before it becomes palpable
  • Regular screenings increase the chances of catching cancer at its most treatable stages
  • Early-stage breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 99% [2]

The image features a woman with a pink breast cancer ribbon and includes six instructional diagrams: checking in front of a mirror, examining the armpit, using up-and-down and circular motions to check the breast tissue, squeezing the nipple, and performing the exam while lying in bed.
