Increasing Early Detection Of Breast Cancer Helping To Save More Lives
Decades of growing awareness of breast cancer, increasing screenings and improving detection have paid dividends as tumors are more often being caught earlier, leading to better outcomes and more lives being saved.
According to Dr. Andrew Brown, breast surgical oncologist at the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute, detection, treatment and survival rates are improving every year.
“Screening has improved significantly. More women are getting their mammograms yearly as we recommend,”
Brown said.
“Early screening is playing a part in why we may be seeing more cases of breast cancer, but we’re seeing them at an earlier stage.”
This progress is notable as Breast Cancer Awareness Month opens this October, although the fight against breast cancer is not yet over and new challenges are rising.
