An estimated 250,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. Monthly self-examinations and regular mammograms help in early detection. Breast Cancer Awareness month reminds women to take the necessary steps to prevent this disease. Researchers and physicians across the Texas Medical Center are working to lower fatality rates related to breast cancer through genetic testing, hormone therapies and surgical procedures.
