Early Detection of Breast Cancer, 8 Reasons Why Regular Screening Saves Lives

Annual mammograms can detect cancer early — when it is most treatable. Here are 8 reasons why you need a regular mammogram screening:

1. Regular mammograms increase your breast cancer survival rate by 30%.
2. Mammograms can detect a lump two years before you can feel it during a self-examination.
3. More than 246,660 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
4. More than 40,000 women lose their lives to this disease annually.
5. Breast cancer is the number one most common cancer in women.
6. A mammogram takes only 30 minutes of your time.
7. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 American women.
8. Less than 15% of women with breast cancer have a family member with this disease.
