One out of eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.
Every two minutes, there is a new breast cancer diagnosis.
The majority of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history.
At Barnabas Health, we treat more patients with breast cancer than anyone in New Jersey. We see it every day. We know what it can do to families.
The vast majority of breast cancer survivors are the ones who caught the cancer early.
And every single patient who caught it early did so through some kind of screening. A mammogram. Or breast self-exam.
Mammography is the primary imaging tool used to detect breast cancer that cannot be felt during regular breast examinations. Yearly mammograms are recommended starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health.
That's why we're on a crusade. The Pink Crusade. We're doing everything we can to remind you, to convince you, to urge you to get your mammograms.
Early detection saves lives. Schedule your mammogram today.
