    One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, making it important for both women and men to be aware of prevention measures. There are several types of breast cancer that can develop at different stages and rates. To enhance early detection and reduce risk, Dr. Amy Lloyd recommends women get to know their breasts and schedule annual mammogram screenings starting at age 40. She also suggests choosing a plant-rich diet, drinking alcohol only in moderation, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight to lower breast cancer risk. Regular mammograms are crucial for detection since breast cancer is often found at aggressive stages without them.

    Bringing Awareness to Breast Cancer Prevention

    LA CROSSE, Wis.- According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, one in eight women will be diagnosed
    with breast cancer at some point in their lifetime; in essence, breast cancer affects everyone in some way, shape
    or form. Even though we are still a few months away from National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in
    October, Mayo Clinic Health Systems encourages both women and men to be continually mindful of the
    measures they can take in breast cancer awareness.
    There are several types of breast cancer which can be diagnosed at different stages of development and can
    grow at different rates. To enhance early detection and to reduce your overall risk, Dr. Amy Lloyd of Mayo
    Clinic Health System in La Crosse recommends taking these defensive and precautionary measures:

    Women need to become familiar with their breasts in order to detect abnormalities or changes.

    If you discover any type of abnormality with your breasts, make an appointment to see your doctor.

    Schedule annual mammogram screenings and clinical breast exams performed by a health care
    provider beginning at age 40.

    Select a diet that is rich in plant-based foods. Plant based foods provide phytochemicals which can
    potentially protect cells from damage by cancer-causing agents.

    Drink alcohol only in moderation, if you do at all. Alcohol increases your risk of breast cancer.
    The amount of that risk is in proportion to the quantity of alcohol you consume.

    Regular exercise and weight gain prevention can also help to reduce your risk of breast cancer
    formation.

    It is crucial to be conscious and proactive about breast cancer. Lloyd says, Breast cancer is normally detected
    when it is in an aggressive stage, however, getting regular mammograms can help detect it earlier.
    Visit Mayo Clinic Health Systems Center for Breast Care or contact your healthcare provider for further
    questions or to schedule an appointment.
