When it comes to breast cancer, early detection can truly make all the difference. The numbers speak for themselves:
• 66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage.
• At this stage, the 5-year survival rate is an incredible 99%.
That’s why Lane Regional Medical Center urges women to take charge of their breast health through:
• Performing monthly self-exams
• Discussing a screening strategy with your provider if you have a family history of breast cancer.
• Scheduling regular clinical exams with your OBGYN
• Exercising regularly and limiting alcohol and tobacco intake
• Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer
Proactive steps like these empower women to catch breast cancer early, when it’s most treatable.
