October Health eNewsletter

An estimated 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer among women are forecast this year. Approximately 40,460 women will die from the disease. The American Cancer Society recommends that women 40 and over without symptoms have a mammogram every year and annually thereafter as long as they are in good health.  

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital asks that women “Picture Yourself Healthy.” Take the one "picture" that could save your life - a mammogram. To learn more about breast cancer and about the mammography services at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center Hospital, please visit us online.
