How you can detect it early.

Mammograms can be used to look for breast cancer,
either as a screening test in women without symptoms
or in women who have symptoms that might be from
cancer. A mammogram can often find or detect breast
cancer early, when it’s small and even
before a lump can be felt. This is when
it’s likely to be easiest to treat.
