We strive to provide the vital education to our community about breast cancer, risk factors, screening, and potential treatment options. Misión e Historia Pautas de detección We strongly recommend you perform monthly self-exams in to order to be "BREAST AWARE" - the new common term. Having a regular schedule to check for changes in your breasts helps you know what is normal for you, and potentially discover an abnormality earlier. Percentages of women who report finding breast cancer by regularly looking and feeling the changes in their breasts is striking. According to the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG), 70% of women find breast abnormalities on their own. The Young Survival Coalitio n reported that 80% of young women find breast abnormalities on their own. We polled our wig clients and found that 69% of our clients found their breast abnormalities on their own. Check for a Lump! Self Exam While lying on your back, or in the shower, place your right hand behind your head. Check segments of your breast at a time using the pads of your fingers firmly pressing down. Screen in a clock pattern, for example twelve – one o’clock from the top portion of your breasts towards your nipple. Repeat in the next segment 1-2 o’clock covering all of the breast tissue. Squeeze your nipple to check for discharge. Also check for abnormalities in your armpit as this is typically the first place cancer will travel to. Repeat the process on your left breast. If you find anything suspicious that does not go back to normal quickly you will want to follow up with your doctor. Clinical Exam While at your routine ob/gyn appointment, ask your doctor or health practitioner to preform a clinical exam. 12% of our wig clients with breast cancer discovered breast cancer through a clinical exam. A clinical exam takes only a few minutes and is absolutely free. It is one more line of defense. Self Exam Motions How old should a woman be when she has her first mammogram? How often should she have a mammogram? There is considerable controversy as to when women should begin receiving mammograms and how often they should receive them. Most insurance companies follow the United States Preventative Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines for breast cancer screening. However, there are at least six other independent organizations and panels, like the American Cancer Society (ACS), that have mammogram guidelines as well. In May 2023, the USPSTF updated their mammogram recommendations, proposing that women at average risk of breast cancer start mammograms at age 40 and have a mammogram every other year. Check for a Lump agrees that women, including non-binary and transgender people, should assess their risk and consult with their physician prior to deciding on when and how often to receive a mammogram. mammograms: transgender & non-binary people USPSTF, The American Cancer Society, and many other professional organizations have recommendations for the early detection of cancer in average-risk and high-risk cis-gender patients. However, it is less straight forward when it comes to the transgender community. There is still more research needed in order to have an accurate recommendation on screening. The American College of Radiology recommendations for screening in the non-binary and trans populations are based on the sex assigned at birth, risk factors, and the use of hormones. It is also important to note that everyone should talk with their doctor and make a decision together about screening. Male at birth < 5 yrs hormone use + average risk, no testing < 5 yrs hormone use, 25-30 yrs old, higher than average risk, mammogram "may be appropriate" annually > 5 yrs hormone use, 25-30 yrs old, higher than average risk, mammogram is "usually appropriate" annually > 5 yrs hormone use, 40+ yrs old, average risk, mammogram "may be appropriate" annually Female at birth If you have had top surgery, no testing No top surgery or had a reduction, 40+ yrs old, average risk, mammogram is "usually appropriate" No top surgery or had a reduction, 30+ yrs old, intermediate risk, mammogram is "usually appropriate" and breast MRI "may be appropriate" No top surgery or had a reduction, 25-30 yrs old, high risk, mammogram and breast MRI "are usually appropriate" Tómese 5 minutos para conocer su riesgo personal de cáncer y obtenga pasos sencillos para hacerse cargo de la salud de sus senos y ovarios.
