What is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is cancer that forms in the cells of the breasts. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States. Breast cancer can occur in both men and women, but it's far more common in women. Substantial support for breast cancer awareness and research funding has helped create advances in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer survival rates have increased, and the number of deaths associated with this disease is steadily declining, largely due to factors such as earlier detection, a new personalized approach to treatment and a better understanding of the disease.

Who Should Consider Getting Screened?

• Recommended for women starting at age 40.

Why Screening is Important

• Mammograms detect abnormalities in the breast tissue that could be cancer. The lifetime risk of a woman in the U.S. being diagnosed with breast cancer is more than 1 in 8 or 12%.
• Early detection leads to more successful treatment options.
• Women who have breast cancer screening mammograms are much less likely to die from the disease.
