The
Facts:

eligible women get the lifesaving breast cancer screening
and treatment they need.
- Breast cancer is the
second-most common cancer among women in the United States.

be found early when the chances of surviving it are high.
For Women:

sure to get a yearly mammogram.

having breast cancer with regular physical activity,
maintaining a health weight, and limiting the amount of
alcohol you drink.
