Early diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. It is important to know your breasts so you can tell which changes are normal to you. All women should check their breasts by breast self-examination each month. All women over 50 with no breast symptoms should have a mammogram screening every two years. Women at increased risk are usually advised to have an annual check up, often from 40 years of age. All women over 35 should have an annual breast examination by a doctor. It is important to remember that nine out of 10 breast lumps are not cancer. (Jean Hailes Foundation)
Breast cancer does not just affect women although it is very rare in men, accounting for less than 1% of all breast cancers.
