October is
Breast Cancer
Awareness
Month
One in eight women are diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
However, with early detection and treatment, you can greatly improve
your chance of survival.
3 STEPS TO EARLY DETECTION
Early detection means finding the cancer before it spreads to other parts
of the body. Although breast cancer cannot be completely prevented,
early detection provides the greatest possibility of successful treatment.
By following these three steps, you will help increase your chance of
detecting cancer early.
1. BREAST SELF-AWARENESS
Breast self-awareness can help you become familiar with how your
breasts normally look and feel. Knowing this will help you identify any
changes in your breasts that should be reported to your health care
professional promptly. If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with
your doctor, but don’t panic - 8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous.
Changes to look for include:
• A lump or thickening in or near the breast or in the underarm area
• A change in the size or shape of the breast
• Dimpling or puckering in the skin of the breast
• A nipple turned inward into the breast
• Discharge (fluid) from the nipple
• Scaly, red or swollen skin on the breast, nipple or areola (the dark area
of skin at the center of the breast)
You should see your health care provider about any of these symptoms.
Often these symptoms are not due to cancer, but if you notice any
changes in your body, tell your health care provider immediately so that
the problems can be diagnosed and treated.
2. WELL-WOMAN EXAM
It is recommended that women visit their family physician or gynecologist
each year for an annual Well-Woman Exam. In addition to a routine pelvic
exam and pap smear, the doctor may perform a brief breast exam to
check for abnormalities. The Well-Woman Exam is a great opportunity for
you to discuss with your health care provider any questions or concerns
you have regarding your breast health. For example, your doctor may
help you to determine the most appropriate frequency for your early
detection steps.
3. MAMMOGRAM
In its early stages, breast cancer doesn’t usually cause symptoms. NBCF
recommends that women ages 40 and older get a mammogram every
year. A mammogram is an X-ray of the breast. It is a safe way to detect
cancerous tumors and other abnormal breast conditions and women
who have screening mammograms have a lower chance of dying from
breast cancer than women who do not have screening mammograms.
Mammograms can detect cancer or other problems before a lump
becomes large enough to be detectable to the touch. They provide an
effective way to find breast cancer in its early stages when treatment is
usually the most successful. Mammograms are considered safe, quick
and relatively painless.
