The mortality rate of breast cancer patients has dropped 43% since 1989 thanks to early detection, according to the American Cancer Society.
Mammograms and self-breast exams are key in the early detection process according to Chief Scientific Officer at the ACS, Dr. William Dahut.
The American Cancer Society recommends that women get regular mammogram screenings starting at 40 years old. But for women who have a history of cancer in their family, Dr. Dahut said it needs to start earlier. He also mentioned healthcare disparities that keep many women from getting the care they need because of lack of insurance or facilities near them to get the screenings.
A North Texas woman has taken that message to heart, spreading the word of early detection after she beat cancer, but her daughter lost her battle with it.
