The Importance of Early Detection Early detection is crucial in the fight against breast cancer. Identifying the disease before it spreads significantly increases the five-year survival rate to 99% (American Cancer Society). While breast cancer cannot always be prevented, early detection offers the best chance for successful treatment. Key Components of Early Detection: 1. Breast Self-Awareness (18+ , Regularly/ Monthly) 2. Well-Woman Exams (18+, Every 6 months or yearly) 3. Imaging Techniques Mammograms: Recommended for women starting at age 40 or earlier based on individual risk factors, mammograms are a critical tool for detecting breast cancer before symptoms arise. Ultrasound: Often used as a complementary tool alongside mammograms, ultrasound can provide further insights, especially in dense breast tissue. Awareness and proactive health measures are the keys to combating breast cancer.
