Many Women don't do Regular Mammograms Story provided by www.susanGkomen.com

January 20, 2011 - Posted by Saintes in Blog

Despite professional recommendations and public support in favor of regular mammography, only about half of US women get an annual mammogram, even if they have insurance to cover the test. These results were presented at the 2010 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium.

The age at which mammographic screening should begin has recently been a subject of debate. The American Cancer Society continues to recommend that women at average risk of breast cancer begin mammographic screening at the age of 40. The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), however, recently recommended against routine mammographic screening of women in their 40s; instead, they recommend that screening begin at 50 and be performed every two years rather than annually.

Due to strong public reaction against the updated USPSTF recommendations, researchers became curious about how many women were actually getting regular mammograms. To determine mammography rates, researchers reviewed information on use of mammography from a database of more than 12 million people. Data used included mammography screening from January 2006 through December 2009. All participants had employer-provided insurance or were on Medicare.

In any given year, only 50% of women aged 40 to 85 years had a mammogram.
Of women aged 40 to 85, only 60% had two or more mammograms over four years.
Average annual mammography rates were as follows: 47% for women aged 40 to 49 years, 54% for women aged 50 to 64, and 45% for women aged 65 or older.

These findings indicate that many women do not receive regular mammograms, even if they are insured. Though this study did not investigate reasons why women may not get mammograms, it has been thought that discomfort from the test and lack of available screening centers may be among the reasons that some women do not undergo this screening.

Various symptoms and signs of Breast Cancer

January 09, 2011 - Posted by Saintes in Blog

When breast cancer starts out, it is too small to feel and does not cause signs and symptoms. As it grows, however, breast cancer can cause changes in how the breast looks or feels. Symptoms may include—

New lump in the breast or underarm (armpit).
Thickening or swelling of part of the breast.
Irritation or dimpling of breast skin.
Redness or flaky skin in the nipple area or the breast.
Pulling in of the nipple or pain in the nipple area.
Nipple discharge other than breast milk, including blood.
Any change in the size or the shape of the breast.
Pain in any area of the breast.

Your voice should be heard. Breast Cancer Awareness.

Friend -

Komen has just announced their next big initiative in the fight against breast cancer: the Breast Cancer Bill of Rights!

The Breast Cancer Bill of Rights is a promise to fight to ensure all women in the U.S. receive timely, affordable, high-quality breast health services. And with the 2010 elections coming up fast, we have a tremendous opportunity to put breast cancer front and center.

Take a moment to read more about the Breast Cancer Bill of Rights, then join me in signing on to it. It's an easy way to tell candidates that breast cancer is important to you.
