In 1993, then-President Clinton declared the third Friday in October as National Mammography Day.
This year, the day falls on October 21.

| As with all cancers, prevention is better than cure. And most preventatives are the same for all forms of cancer. They include: |
|
Exercise. Exercise stimulates your immune system, your primary defense against all illnesses including cancer. |
|
Nutrition. Your immune system requires good fuel to function well. Aim for seven to nine servings of fresh fruit and vegetables each day. |
|
Supplementation. Most people find it difficult to eat enough servings of fruit and vegetables each day; even those that do need the extra boost of antioxidants, which combat free radicals that can cause cancer. |
There is no sure-fire way to prevent cancer. The next best thing after changing your lifestyle – not instead of but in addition to – is early detection. For breast cancer, that means getting a mammogram once a year from your doctor. Mammograms are painless, non-invasive and completely safe. More importantly, annual exams that result in the detection of cancer lower the odds of death by 35%. For women between ages 40 and 50, the odds decrease by 25% to 35%. Furthermore, cancers detected early leave women with a greater chance of keeping their breasts rather than having to get a mastectomy.
If you are age 40 or older, schedule a mammogram today. Prevention and early detection can save your life. |
