What Every Woman Should Know...

Between the ages of 20-39, every woman should have a clinical breast exam every three years.
Starting at age 40,she should be examined every year.+
Although not all breast cancers are found through mammography, most women in the United States are diagnosed at an early stage of breast cancer,before symptoms appear, as a result of a mammogram.

The most common symptoms of breast cancer are a change in the look or feel of the breast, the nipple or a nipple discharge.
