Regular screening is one of the most important steps in finding and successfully treating breast cancer early. The earlier breast cancer is found, the easier it is to treat. Women with average breast cancer risk aged 50 to 74 should get screened every two years. If you're 40 to 49 years old, ask your doctor when you should start regular screening.
Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women in the U.S. Doctors don't yet know exactly what causes it.
Lymph nodes in the armpit are often checked for cancer as a part of the diagnosis process.
The ducts and the lobules are the 2 parts of the breast where cancer is most likely to start. The good news is that breast cancer is often found early, when it's small and before it has spread.
Ductal carcinoma is the most common type of breast cancer. It starts in the lining of the ducts.
When breast cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it most often goes to the brain, bones, liver, or lungs.
Take an important step towards cancer prevention and early diagnosis by knowing your risk. Loma Linda University Cancer Center has the latest screening technology for the early detection of breast cancer. We are the leading cancer center in the region, offering comprehensive care from diagnosis to survivorship.
"They were the kindest, most compassionate doctors. They took the time to answer all my questions and never made me feel rushed. As soon as we left I told my husband that I was done. I didn’t need a second opinion. This was where I was going to be treated."
"At Loma Linda people get it; they know how a patient feels. They have empathy here, and sensitivity. I can’t say enough about the people at Loma Linda. I’m very fond of the whole team—my surgeon, medical oncologist, radiation oncologist, nurses, technologists, everybody."
