Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center does more than treat breast cancer. We also focus on finding this disease early, when it is easier to treat. Screening tests are done on a regular schedule for people with no breast cancer symptoms. These tests identify signs that might otherwise go unnoticed. Regular screenings are important because the earlier we detect the disease, the better. People with smaller, early-stage breast cancer have more treatment options and a better chance for a full recovery and a long, healthy life.
“The funding support of National Breast Cancer Foundation provides underserved women with access to complete care for breast cancer detection and diagnosis at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, from screening mammography to additional evaluation for women with positive screening results, including biopsies when they are recommended. By supporting the earlier diagnosis and treatment of women
with breast cancer, NBCF is helping women live longer and healthier lives. Thank you for your generosity.” — Janie Lee, MD, MSC, Director, Breast Imaging
