EARLY DETECTION HELPED OVER 4 MILLION WOMEN BEAT BREAST CANCER The statistics surrounding breast cancer underscore the importance of early detection. The American Cancer Society estimates that approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. While this number is significant, it is equally important to know that survival rates are dramatically higher when the cancer is found early.
Detecting cancer in its initial stages allows for more effective and less invasive treatment options, leading to better outcomes for patients. This is why public health messaging so strongly emphasizes the need for regular self-checks and adherence to recommended screening schedules. Knowing your body and reporting any changes to a doctor, along with getting regular mammograms, are the most powerful tools available in the fight against breast cancer. It is a simple but vital message that Lincoln Hospital is working to amplify.
