October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to learn about the importance of early detection and preventive care. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), regular breast cancer screenings can help find breast cancer early, when treatment is often more successful.
Take Steps to Protect Your Health
• Talk with your primary care provider about when you should begin routine mammograms based on your age and risk factors.
• Stay familiar with how your breasts normally look and feel and report any unusual changes to your healthcare provider.
• Keep up with your annual wellness visits and recommended preventive screenings.
