Appointments include a clinical breast exam and mammography. Breast-health education and training will also be provided.
Participating physicians include Dr. Howard M. Karpoff and Dr. Gnanamba Varuni Kondagunta.
Preregistration is required, so register now!. Appointments are limited and must be made by Nov. 30. For more information and to register, call 888-321-6762.
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.
