Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for all women ages 35-54, and Washington, DC has the highest mortality rate from breast cancer in the United States.

Early detection is the single most powerful tool in fighting breast cancer. Today's high-quality screening mammography is the most effective tool available to physicians for detecting breast cancer before lumps can be felt or symptoms of cancer appear.

Who should get screened?
Women 40 years of age and older should be screened every year. Screening should begin at a younger age if there is a family history.

Why is a mammogram so important?
Early detection of breast cancer not only helps provide a woman with more treatment options, but also increases her chances for survival.
