The American Cancer Society encourages all women to be aware of early detection in the fight against breast cancer. Breast cancer is the most common cancer that affects American women. One out of eight females will have breast cancer in her lifetime. As you get older, your risk for breast cancer increases. There will be about 700 cases diagnosed in Hawai'i in 1996. Hawaiians have the second highest inci- dence of breast cancer in Hawai'i but the highest mortality rate. This is partly due to late diagnosis. Lack of practicing early detection procedures for breast cancer contributes to late diagnosis. Early detection gives a woman her best chance for survival. The three step early detection plan rec- ommended by the American Cancer Society is:

1. Age 40 - have first mammogram Age 4149 - have mammogram every 1-2 years Age 50 + - have mammogram every year

A mammogram is a quick, safe low dose x-ray of the breast. A technician places the breast between two plastic plates that compress it. The x-ray can then produce a clear picture of the breast. Women are exposed to a minimal ambunt of radiation.

2. See your doctor for a regular breast exam Age 20-39 - every 3 years Age 40 + - every year

3. Practice monthly breast self-exam starting at 18 years old.

Your doctor, a nurse or mammography technician can show you how. The local office of the American Cancer Society can give you a how-to-do diagram. Although the number of women getting breast cancer is increasing, early detection and improved treatment have kept the death rate fairly stable. Please do yourself and your loved ones a favor by following the three step early detection plan. Contact your nearest American Cancer unit for more information. --- 'Okakopa (October) 1996 Ka Wai Ola 0 ORA 'Ao'ao Iwakaluakiimalima (Page 25) U STEE 'S VIE WS (This column is open to all OHA trustees to express their individual Kahu W aiwai Pdkahi views and does not necessarily represent the official position of the Board of Trustees.
