Here are some important facts about breast cancer:

  • According to the American Cancer Society, when breast cancer is detected early in the localized stage, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%.

  • Early detection includes monthly breast self-exams, regular clinical breast exams, and mammograms.

  • Breast cancer, excluding skin cancer, is the most prevalent cancer among American women.

  • Mammograms are the most effective method for early detection, making treatment easier and preventing symptoms.
