Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer that originates in the cells of the breast. It affects both men and women, with symptoms including lumps, changes in breast size or shape, and skin abnormalities. Early detection through regular screening, like mammograms, improves treatment outcomes. Risk factors include genetics, age, and hormonal influences. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapies.

EARLY DETECTION

Breast Lump

A breast lump is a mass, growth, or swelling within the breast tissue.

Breast Pain

Breast pain is any discomfort, tenderness, or pain in the breast or underarm region.

Breast Cyst

A cyst in the breast may feel like a lump, but upon examination the lump is a small, generally harmless sac filled with fluid rather than a cancerous or benign lump of cells.

Breast Self-Exam

A breast self-exam is an early detection tool that uses a combination of physical and visual examinations of the breasts to check for signs and symptoms of breast cancer.

Clinical Breast Exam

A clinical breast examination is performed by a healthcare professional who is trained to recognize many different types of abnormalities and warning signs.

Mammogram

A mammogram is an x-ray that allows a qualified specialist to examine the breast tissue for any suspicious areas.

Healthy Habits

When it comes to breast cancer, there are some risk factors that you can’t control, such as your age and genetics.
