Why should I commit to routine breast/chest screenings?

Because early detection makes all the difference.

According to the American Cancer Society:

      • The 5-year relative survival rate for people diagnosed with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer is close to 100%.
      • The 5-year relative survival rate for people diagnosed with stage II breast cancer is about 93%.
      • The 5-year relative survival rate for people diagnosed stage III breast cancer is about 72%.
      • Breast cancers that have spread to other parts of the body are more difficult to treat and tend to have a poorer outlook. Metastatic, or stage IV breast cancers, have a 5-year relative survival rate of about 22%.

No matter who we are or how we feel about the tissue that hangs from our chest, one thing is true: We deserve mammography and chest wall care that affirms our bodies, genders, and identities.
