Warning Signs of Breast Cancer



Warning Signs of Breast Cancer

Due to the increased use of mammography, most women in the United States are diagnosed at an early stage of breast cancer, before symptoms appear.

If breast cancer is present, it is best to find it at an early stage, when the cancer is most treatable.
