BREAST CANCER LEARN YOUR RISK. GET SCREENED.

Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center encourages women of all ages to educate themselves about the symptoms, risks and screening recommendations for breast cancer. It's the second leading cause of cancer death in women, and women in Louisiana face even higher mortality rates due to later-staged diagnoses. Regular cancer screenings are key in detecting cancers earlier, which often results in more successful outcomes.
