Breast cancer affects approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States. Chances are that you or someone you know has been diagnosed with it. That's why it's crucial to raise awareness for this issue whenever possible.
Good breast cancer care starts with a simple screening. If you're over the age of 40 and haven't already done so, talk with your primary caregiver about the importance of setting annual mammogram screening appointments. It could just save your life.

What Is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in U.S. women and is caused by the abnormal growth of breast cells. Breast cancer can take several forms, and knowing the type of breast cancer you have helps Mercy doctors provide the most effective treatments.
Breast Cancer Diagnostic Tests
How do you know if you have breast cancer? You may be diagnosed after routine breast screening or you may have symptoms that you've seen your primary care doctor about. Whether you've suspected breast cancer because of signs or a routine breast screening shows an abnormality, you'll be referred to a specialist for further tests.
