Breast Cancer
Awareness
Ladies, picture this… You and seven
of your friends hanging out. Take a
look around; one of you will get
breast cancer in your lifetime.
Statistics show one in eight women
develop breast cancer at some point
in their life. With October being
breast cancer awareness month, we
should take a
moment to discuss
the most
commonly
diagnosed cancer
worldwide…breast
cancer. In the
United States alone
there are over 230,000
cases diagnosed and
40,000 deaths a year
attributed to breast
cancer. About
11% of all new
cases of breast
cancer in the
US are
found in
women
younger
than 45 years of age. Through
education and early detection, these
rates are decreasing and you can be
part of that decrease. It is also
important to understand that
females are not the only ones who
can develop breast cancer. Male
breast cancer represents between 0.5
and 1 percent of all breast cancers.
Risk of developing breast cancer can
be multifactorial. Risk factors that
increase your risk of breast cancer
are the following: female gender,
Caucasian race, obesity in the post-
menopausal state, hormone
replacement therapy, earlier
menarche or later menopause, never
having children, family history of
breast cancer, and inherited genetic
mutations such as the BRCA genes.
Lifestyle factors you can be aware of
that may increase your risk include
alcohol and smoking. Protective
factors that may reduce your risk of
breast cancer include breastfeeding
and regular physical activity.
Screening is of utmost importance to
being a part of the above decreasing
statistics. Recommendations
regarding screening can vary
depending upon the professional
organization. The most conservative
recommendation by the American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists recommend routine
screening with mammography
annually starting at the age of 40
until 74. Mammography is a
noninvasive procedure. In addition,
clinical breast examination by your
primary care providers is
recommended every three years
from the ages of 20-39 and annually
thereafter. For certain high risk
populations such as women with a
known genetic predisposition to
breast cancer (ie, BRCA1 or BRCA2),
breast MRI in addition to the option
of genetic testing may be indicated.
Signs and symptoms to watch for
include: a breast mass (more
concerning masses include being
firm and non-moveable), lymph
nodes felt in your armpit, abnormal
nipple discharge, and skin changes
overlying your breast (including
redness, thickening, or dimpling).
There isn’t a consensus for
recommendations regarding self-
breast exams , but the American
College of Obstetricians and
Gynecologists recommends breast
self-awareness which can include
self-breast exams.

cancer using the Gail model please

Routine screening with
mammography is available at Blue
Mountain Hospital and you can call
541-575-4163 to schedule yours
today. For your clinical breast exam
and any concerns please visit your
local primary care provider for
evaluation. Go pink in October!
