Tip for finding breast cancer early

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS Every week 730 new breast cancers are diagnosed and 250 women die from breast cancer. Each year 38,000 women are newly diagnosed and 13,100 women die from breast cancer. Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in minority ethnic groups in the UK. Breast cancer now affects one woman in 9 during her lifetime in the United Kingdom. Survival rates are improving, on average 74 per cent of women are still alive five years later

The best way to find breast lumps that may be cancer is to do 3 things:
  • Have regular mammograms.
  • Have your doctor check your breasts.
  • Check your breasts yourself every month.
Doing all of these things gives you the best chance to find cancer as early as you can. Finding breast cancer early makes treatment much easier and more effective. More than 90 out of 100 women whose breast cancer is found early will be cured
