CAN BREAST CANCER BE PREVENTED?

Medicine Does Not Yet Know of a Lifestyle Change, Medication, or Vaccine That Can Prevent Breast Cancer.

Medicine doesn't yet know of a lifestyle, medication, or vaccine that can prevent breast cancer. However, when caught early, breast cancer is a treatable disease. Early diagnosis can largely alleviate the problems caused by breast cancer. This can minimize the damage caused by the disease and significantly increase life expectancy and quality of life. The best known and most effective solution for early diagnosis is for women to follow a screening program tailored to their risk status and to have regular mammograms and other necessary tests.
