Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women other than skin cancer. Many factors influence breast cancer risk, but the main one is simply advancing in age. Being familiar with how your breasts look and feel can help you notice symptoms such as lumps, pain or changes in size that may be of concern. You should report any changes you notice to your doctor or health care provider. Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat and before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms.

BCRFA helps ensure physicians and scientists can seize every opportunity for groundbreaking discovery and bring them directly to their patients.
