Check your breasts – save your life
Early detection is the secret for cure. If we are late in detection, chances for advanced disease and death increase dramatically.

Self-checks are a free and easy way to detect problems early
Most breast cancer cases could be cured if detected early enough, and a free and easy way to become aware of possible problems is to do a self-test every month.

Clinical oncologist at Adama Hospital Medical College, Ethiopia
Breast preserving surgery is possible in many cases
We don’t want to go to mastectomy unless it’s necessary. Actually, if women do get detected early, 70% of them can be treated by breast conserving surgery, and afterwards the breast looks almost exactly like it did before.
Prof. Dan Herschko
Oncologist and head of surgery at the Emek Medical Centre in Afula
Breast cancer doesn't discriminate
I see this phenomenon in the waiting room of my department. There are women of means, there are women who are poor. There are women of an Arab background, there are Jewish women. No one wants to be there but they are there. They see within the other a reflection of themselves, and that creates a desire to help the other person. Just like you'd want to help yourself.
