Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the United States. More than 182,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. The chance of a woman having breast cancer sometime during her life is 1 in 8. Early detection is key in the treatment of breast cancer. This can include a mammography, clinical breast exam and the Breast Self Exam. Learning how to do a proper self exam, though shouldn't replace the clinical exam or mammogram which are still important for early detection.
