Breast Health Resources

Routine care is the best way to keep you and your breasts healthy. Although detecting breast cancer at its earliest stages is the main goal of routine breast care, other benign conditions, such as fibrocystic breasts or cysts, are often discovered during routine care. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. For all these reasons and more, Northwest Heath System, in recognition that October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, urges women to take special notice of breast health and provides the following tools and information to help in that regard.
