Three women generations

One out of every eight women will have breast cancer during her lifetime. But with early detection, the cure rate for breast cancer can be as high as 96 percent. Here are three ways to protect yourself:

  • Have an annual physical examination.
  • Practice regular breast self-examination. The American Cancer Society (ACS) recommends monthly self-exams for women age 20 and older. The ACS also recommends a clinical exam every three years between the ages of 20-39, and every year if you are 40 or older.
  • Schedule a mammogram regularly. The ACS recommends women age 40 and older get a mammogram every year. Your doctor may suggest changes to the standard schedule based on your personal or family history.

Breast cancer that is found early can be treated more effectively. You can also greatly increase your chances for a complete recovery. Practice the three simple steps and schedule your next mammogram at one of Methodist's convenient locations:

Methodist Diagnostic Center - North
Methodist Diagnostic Center - Midtown
Methodist Diagnostic Center - South (within the Methodist South Hospital)
Methodist University Hospital 
Methodist Breast Center - Germantown
