    Breast Cancer Facts:
  • One out of eight women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. All women are at risk and that risk does increase with age.
  • Breast cancer is the most common form of non-skin cancer in women. More than 203,000 cases will be diagnosed in the next year.
  • Breast cancer cannot be prevented, but if detected early, can be effectively treated. Early screenings and detection is the key against fighting this disease.
  • Services are available for women who do not have health insurance or cannot afford a mammogram. Call your local chapter of the American Cancer Society, YWCA Encore Plus or Department of Health and Human Services for more info on each organization’s programs and resources that may be able to assist you.
  • Breast cancer does not discriminate based on ethnic background, family history or income. 70% of women who develop breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors. For more info regarding breast health locally in Sacramento or nationally, please log on to the following links:
