Regular physical activity, limiting alcohol & maintaining a healthy weight help to lower the risk of breast cancer. #beyondamammogram

Low-cost and free mammograms are available in most areas. Call the ACS at 1-800-227-2345 for more information. #beyondamammmogram

In women at increased risk of breast cancer, tamoxifen and raloxifene have been shown to reduce the risk. (ACS) #beyondamammogram

[Beyond A Mammogram @beyondmammogram]

Women who have no children or who had their first pregnancy after age 30 have a slightly higher breast cancer risk. (ACS) #beyondamammogram

[Beyond A Mammogram @beyondmammogram]

Mammograms can miss some cancers, but remain a very effective tool for decreasing death from breast cancer (per ACS). #beyondamammogram

[Beyond A Mammogram @beyondmammogram]

Inflammatory breast cancer tends to be advanced when it is first diagnosed because the breast cancer cells have grown into the skin.

Because men have so little breast tissue, cancers can reach the muscles underneath the breast quickly, spreading to tissues or lymph nodes.

[Beyond A Mammogram @beyondmammogram]

Mammography is often more accurate in men than women, since men do not have dense breasts which can interfere with test accuracy. (ACS)
