Breast cancer is the second most commonly
diagnosed cancer in women. Specific recommendations to reduce your risk include:
• Limiting the dose and duration of combined hormone therapy after menopause.
• Limit your alcohol intake to one drink per
day.
• Quit smoking.
• Breast-feed your babies.
• Eat a healthy diet, maintain a healthy
weight, and exercise.
Perform regular breast self-examinations and
make sure you get your mammograms
according to schedule. Early detection and
treatment greatly increases your chances of
survival.
