Mammography screening does not prevent or cure breast cancer. However, it may detect the disease before symptoms occur.

Breast cancer tumors can exist for six to ten years before they grow large enough to be detected by mammography.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death for women in the U.S, after lung cancer.

American Cancer Society. Cancer Facts and Figures 2008. Atlanta, GA, 2009 Cancer Coalition

Approximately 40,170 women and 440 men in the U.S. will die from the disease in 2009

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for U.S. women between the ages of 20 and 59, and the leading cause of cancer death for women worldwide.iii
