Urgent Update: All Women Should be Risk Assessed for Breast Cancer by Age 25

learnlooklocat... ⭐️ Just because you have genetic testing and it's negative doesn't mean that you're not above average risk. Getting risk assessed is incredibly important. We recommend that all women are risk assessed for breast cancer by age 25, because if you are deemed above average risk, then heightened imaging surveillance is warranted for you, and you should be being followed in a high-risk breast clinic for annual management and surveillance.

About Learn Look Locate LLC:
Learn Look Locate LLC, founded by Cynthia Jordan, advocates the importance of self-breast exams, what to look for when performing a self-exam, and when to see a doctor. We provide resources for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, as well as for their families and friends.
The five-year survival rate for women who catch their cancer early is nearly 100%. Here’s an important statistic. Many women do not perform self-breast exams or see a doctor for regular screenings. Learn Look Locate LLC wants to highlight the work of organizations around the world that are working to promote early detection of breast cancer. We will feature stories of women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer and share their journeys.
There are several ways to diagnose breast cancer, including mammograms, biopsies, and ultrasounds. Once breast cancer is diagnosed, there are a few treatment options available, including surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The best way to treat breast cancer is to catch it early and to get the best treatment possible.
There is a strong community of women who have been affected by breast cancer. In addition, there are a number of organizations and resources available to help women find the support they need.
Learn Look Locate LLC provides resources for women who want to get involved in the fight against breast cancer.
