Today, women have a much better chance against cancer than what you may think. In fact, nearly 100% of women who find breast or cervical cancer early survive it. And the best way to find cancer early is to make sure you get routine breast and cervical cancer screenings.

WHY IS FINDING BREAST CANCER EARLY SO IMPORTANT?

98% of women survive breast cancer when it's found early through routine screenings.

• Most breast cancers take years to develop.
• Early on, most breast cancers don't cause any physical symptoms, so without a screening, there's no way of knowing you have it.
• When breast cancer is found early, it doesn't get the chance to spread to other places.
• 80% of breast lumps are non-cancerous.
• Every woman's breast tissue is different and unique. Getting screened every year is very important in helping your health care provider find small changes in your breast tissue. This helps them to find cancer as early as possible.

Why is finding cervical cancer early so important?

92% of women survive cervical cancer when it's found early through routine tests.

• A Pap test can find abnormal cervical cells years before any cancer actually exists.
• Early on, cervical cancer usually doesn't cause symptoms, so without a test there is no way of knowing it's there.
• The earlier cervical cancer is found, the better the chances of survival.
• Receiving a Pap test once a year can help you detect and even prevent cancer of the cervix.

You can't control what you find, but you can control when you find it.
