Breast Cancer Health Tips

Schedule Regular Exams

    When breast cancer is detected early, in the localized stage, the 5-year survival rate is 99 percent (NBCF).

  • Women ages 40 and over should get a mammogram every year
  • Women over the age of 20 should begin having an annual well-women exam and talk to their doctor about potential risk factors to determine when annual mammograms should begin
  • Women 18 and older should conduct monthly at-home breast self-exams

Know Your Personal Risk Factors

    These can increase your chance of breast cancer.

  • You are a woman over the age of 40
  • You or someone in your immediate family has been previously diagnosed with breast cancer or ovarian cancer
  • You or someone in your immediate family has tested positive for BRCA1 or BRCA2, a gene mutation that is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer

Keep Healthy Habits

    These can reduce your risk for certain cancers.

  • Eat five or more servings of fruit and vegetables each day
  • Get regular physical activity
  • Maintain a healthy weight
  • Limit alcohol intake to no more than one drink per day
  • Do not smoke or quit smoking if you do
