Less than 20 years ago, more women were finding breast cancer diagnosis’s after the cancer had taken hold and spread to other organs, and limiting the chances of surviving the initial disease.

Early diagnosis of breast cancer begins with self-examination. The techniques used to find small abnormalities in the breast are making a great difference for many women. Finding these small lumps in the breast can greatly increase the efficacy of the least invasive surgeries and limit the need for some breast cancer medication.
