Breast Cancer
It is estimated that 182,000 women in the United states will develop breast cancer this year. While experts do not know how breast cancer can be prevented, early detection can significantly increase chances for long term survival. If you notice any changes in your breast, contact your doctor.
The American Cancer Society recommends all women have a screening; mammograms by the age of 40, and regular mammograms after that. You should also do breast self-exam every month. A mammogram can dectect a lump before it can be felt. A biopsy is usually done next. Needle or Aspirational breast biopsy is a new non-surgical method of diagnosing beast cancer. The treatment of breast cancer can include surgery, followed by chemotherapy, radiation for hormone therapy.
