Lump or pain?
Above age 40?
Family history of breast cancer?
Overweight?
Use of hormones as in replacement therapy or birth control?
If you are interested in the free mammogram event, please call The Beverly Oncology Women’s Foundation to schedule your appointment at 323-271-1320.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women receive an annual mammogram starting at age 40, obtain an annual clinical breast exam by a healthcare professional and perform monthly breast self-exams. Breast cancer is the disease many women fear the most, and early detection and treatment can dramatically improve a woman’s chances of survival. Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women, and leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women ages 40 to 55. If detected early – and mammography is the best way to do that – the five-year survival rate for patients is more than 90 percent.
