Breast Care
New Jersey Breast Cancer Preventive Care and Treatment
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death for women in the United States. While it is a potentially life-threatening disease for both men and women, early detection is vital to developing an effective treatment plan to combat breast cancer. One of the most effective ways to prevent serious health complications from breast cancer is to learn the basics of breast health and receive regular mammograms to detect the disease in its early stages.
We are proud to provide extensive breast health resources for our patients. Contact our friendly professionals today to learn more.
What You Can Do
There are several basic ways that patients can monitor their breast health and stay vigilant for any changes or irregularities. Adopting these habits can help ensure that, if anything is wrong, you receive the examination and care you need as swiftly as possible.
What can you do monitor your breast health:
- Perform a monthly breast self-exam (BSE) in front of a mirror
- Exercise regularly
- Keep a healthy diet
- Drink alcohol only in moderation
- Discuss your family’s medical history with your doctor and understand your risk factors
