PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) – October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of early detection and regular screenings.
Dr. Judy Jackson and Dr. Laura Lee with Desert Regional Medical Center say knowing your personal risk and recognizing changes in your breasts can help with early detection.
A lump is one possible warning sign, but other changes can also require medical attention. Screening recommendations vary based on factors including age, family history and personal risk.
Doctors recommend talking with your healthcare provider about your individual screening schedule and any new or unusual changes.
