Breast self-exams are crucial for day-to-day breast cancer prevention. Starting in their 20s, women should be taught how to look and feel for anomalies in their own breasts. Women should report any changes in how their breasts look or feel to a health expert right away.

Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women. But survival rates continue to climb due to better treatments and increased screening that finds cancers when they are most treatable. Don’t wait to schedule your mammogram!

While we do not yet know exactly what causes breast cancer, we know that certain risk factors are linked to the disease. Having a risk factor doesn't mean that a woman will certainly develop breast cancer. Some women who have one or more risk factors never get the disease.

Breast cancer is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that starts with cells of the breast. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It’s the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.

Did you know that pomegranate extract may inhibit the reproduction of breast cancer cells — even killing some of them? More research is needed before any serious claims can be made, but it doesn’t hurt to include more into your diet today!

Regular physical activity can help maintain or improve your health during and after treatment. It can also help your mental well-being by reducing anxiety, stress, depression and improving your overall mood. Incorporate some physical activity today!

Eating healthful food for breast cancer prevention is important. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are known to contain phytochemicals with antioxidant, antiestrogen and chemopreventive properties that may prevent cancer. We recommend five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily.

Our Mission

Cristine Meredith Miele (“Crissy”) was a mother, wife, avid athlete (tennis player, skier, golfer, and runner), world traveler, chef, gardener, and a dear friend to many. Crissy was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer when she was 28 years old. Pregnant with her third child, the pair went through a radical mastectomy and several rounds of chemotherapy together. She delivered her baby boy early to begin an even more intense treatment program that included more chemotherapy, a stem cell transplant, radiation, and hormone therapy.

Crissy’s prognosis was not good, but she fought hard and lived another twelve years. She resumed playing competitive tennis, skiing, playing golf, and taking care of her three children with her husband in the most loving and wonderful way. When Crissy’s cancer returned, it had metastasized to her liver, lungs, and bones. She continued to fight into the last weeks of her life, never giving up hope that she would somehow beat the disease. Crissy passed away in July 2010, a valiant warrior in the fight against breast cancer and an inspiration to us all. Help us keep her efforts ongoing by supporting her cause.

The Cristine Meredith Miele Foundation funds research focused on risk assessment and early detection of breast cancer. Detecting breast cancer early, before it metastasizes, results in significantly higher chances for survival. By helping advance risk assessment and early detection efforts, it’s our hope that we can help women live longer, more peaceful lives.
