Most breast cancers are curable if they are detected very early. This is why a regular screening program is so important.

Breast cancer screening:

• Breast self-examination:
• Once a month
• Mammogram once every year after 50 years of age.
• Mammogram once every 2 years after 40 years of age.
• Physician breast exams once a year after 40 years of age.
