Breast cancer can develop from environmental and lifestyle factors. A mammogram is the only way to determine your diagnosis.
Approximately 80% of breast lumps are benign (non-cancerous) but need to be investigated.
No, although men are less likely to have breast cancer they still need to be screened.
Although it is more likely, there is thousands of woman worldwide diagnosed younger than 45. If you have any symptoms like discharge or lumps, please consult your family doctor.
A mammogram involves a very low dose of radiation, like an x-ray. A person would receive more radiation from a flight overseas than from a mammogram. Mammograms save lives, early detection is when breast cancer is most treatable.
