Breast Cancer

In the United States, more than 200,000 women develop breast cancer every year.  There is no sure way to prevent breast cancer, but early diagnosis is often the key to successful treatment of the disease.  Women should learn to examine their own breasts for changes such as lumps or thickenings.  They should also get tested by their doctor on a regular basis, especially as they get older or if they have a family history of the disease.  Tests such as a clinical breast exam, a mammogram, or even genetic testing can be the key to survival.  To get answers to all your breast cancer questions, visit our list of Recommended Sites.
