Breast Cancer
Performed by yourself, regular self-checks are recommended to recognise any changes in your breasts.
It is important to know your breasts so that you can notice changes in the size or shape of the breast or nipple, changes in the skin over the breast such as redness or dimpling, lumps or lumpiness. If you notice changes, or have a family history, discuss this with your GP.
Breast Screen Australia offers free breast screening by mammogram every two years to women aged 50 - 69.
Regular self-examinations and breast screening is the best form of early detection, offering the best chance of successful treatment when detected early.
