Breast Cancer - Early Detection Can Save Lives
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, except for non-melanoma skin cancers. According to the American Cancer Society, the chance of developing invasive breast cancer at some time in a woman’s life is about 1 in 8 (13% of women). St.Vincent Fishers Hospital takes these numbers seriously and realizes the value of early detection and education.
