Lakelanders, one of the best ways to discover cancer early is through regular breast cancer screenings.

For women over 40, mammograms should be scheduled annually. Women over 55 should schedule mammograms every two years.

When breast cancer is caught early, treatment is more effective and less invasive, and outcomes are better.
