October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Did You Know?

In the United States, more than 200,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer are diagnosed each year. Breast self-examination and regular mammograms help in the fight. Thankfully, significant progress in mammography technology continues to help physicians diagnose the disease in its earlier stages. To locate a breast-imaging facility, contact the National Cancer Institute at (800) 4-CANCER. Learn more at www.nbcam.org
