Breast Cancer

It’s not just an old ladies’ disease

When young women get breast cancer it often spreads more aggressively, leading to tougher treatments and lower survival rates.
Add such age-specific issues as fertility, diagnosis during pregnancy, childcare, financial security… and breast cancer becomes a triple threat to young women.

But here’s the good news: When it’s caught in its earliest stages, the five-year survival rate for women ages 20-39 is almost 90%. We think that¹s a pretty fabulous reason for every young woman to get proactive about her breast health.

Prevention

There may not be any one proven way to prevent breast cancer (yet), but there are at least 9 ways to reduce your risk.

Early Detection

Most cases of breast cancer are found by women noticing unusual changes in their breasts. Isn’t it time you take your breasts into your own hands?

Diagnosis & Treatment

You find a lump, you see your doctor, you get diagnosed, you get treatment and you recover. If only it were that simple.
