Knowing your risk is an important part of breast health. 🎀 While anyone can develop breast cancer, certain factors may increase your risk—including age, family history, inherited genetic changes, previous chest radiation, and some lifestyle and reproductive factors.
Having one or more risk factors does not mean you will develop breast cancer. Talk with your healthcare provider about your personal and family history, your individual risk, and when breast cancer screening may be right for you.
Know your risk. Know your body. Start the conversation.

Know what to look for. 🎀 Breast cancer can occur at any age, and being familiar with changes in your breasts can help you recognize when something may need attention.
Possible signs can include a new lump or thickening, changes in breast size or shape, skin or ni**le changes, swelling, persistent breast or armpit pain, or swollen lymph nodes near the underarm or collarbone.
Not every change means cancer, but unusual or persistent changes should be discussed with a healthcare provider. Know your normal. Notice changes. Speak up.

Breast cancer can affect people at any age. While most breast cancers are diagnosed later in life, knowing your body, understanding your individual risk factors, and recognizing changes early are important at every age. 🎀
If you notice a new lump or other unusual breast changes, don’t wait—talk with your healthcare provider. Those with a family history of breast cancer, certain genetic mutations, or other risk factors should also discuss when screening may be appropriate for them.
Awareness has no age limit. Know your risk. Know the signs. Speak up about changes.
