The goal of screening exams for early breast cancer detection is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. Breast cancers that are found because they are causing symptoms tend to be larger and are more likely to have already spread beyond the breast.

Early detection of  breast cancer is important, as size and the distance that the cancer has spread are very important factors in predicting the outlook of a woman with the disease. Finding breast cancer at an early stage drastically improves the chances of it being treated successfully. Our goal is to provide valuable information concerning symptoms, treatment, diagnosis, and prevention to aid your awareness of the disease and equip you for early detection.
