Early detection is the most powerful weapon in the fight against breast cancer. The sooner it's found, the higher the chances of successful treatment.

Self-exams: Monthly breast self-exams are crucial. Know your body, so any changes are detected promptly.

Clinical Exams: Yearly clinical breast exams by healthcare professionals can catch abnormalities that might be overlooked.

Be Aware of Symptoms: Beyond lumps, other symptoms like nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or changes in breast size can indicate an issue.

Know your Risk: Understand your family history and discuss genetic testing with your doctor if breast cancer runs in your family.

Staying vigilant and proactive can be the difference between early and late-stage diagnosis. Prioritize early detection—it might just save your life.
