What is Breast Cancer?
Breast cancer happens when some cells in the breast grow faster than they should and form a lump (called a tumor). Some tumors are benign (not dangerous). Some are malignant (can spread). Early finding saves lives.

How Screening Works
STEP 1
Self-Awareness
Know your normal. If anything changes, talk to a doctor.
STEP 2
Clinical Exam
A health worker checks and feels for changes.
STEP 3
Imaging
Tests like mammogram, ultrasound, or MRI help see inside.
Screening does not prevent cancer, but it helps find it early when it’s easier to treat.

🚶Stay Active
Aim for regular movement each day.
🥗Eat Balanced
More fruits, veggies, and whole foods.
🥂Limit Alcohol
Less alcohol reduces risk.
🚭Don’t Smoke
Quitting helps your whole body.
