Who this guide is for
This guide is written primarily for women, who experience 99% of all breast cancer cases.
If you are the husband or male relative/friend of a woman that could benefit from this information, please share it with her. We also encourage you to read through this information together as a couple ‑‑ for the benefit of you both, and your family.
In this brief report, we will address three main questions:
- Why early detection is so critical for surviving breast cancer
- What specific actions you can take to minimize your risk of getting advanced breast cancer?
- What PALIG is doing to support you?
First, a few breast cancer basics.
