1 in 8 U.S. women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. The key to survival is early detection.
For the first time in 20 years, the FDA is proposing changes to mammogram rules.

It would modernize breast cancer screenings and help empower women to make the best possible decisions for their health.
