Ear­ly detec­tion is crit­i­cal and breast exams are your first line of defense against breast can­cer. Per­form­ing self-exams, com­plet­ing an annu­al clin­i­cal breast exam and screen­ing mam­mog­ra­phy can iden­ti­fy changes in your breasts ear­ly on when they are most treat­able. If you are unsure of how to per­form a breast exam at home, a provider can offer you guid­ance at your next appoint­ment or screen­ing. The Duly High Risk Breast Clin­ic team answers com­mon ques­tions about risk fac­tors, fam­i­ly his­to­ry, and when to begin screen­ing for breast cancer.

The begin­ning of this sum­mer saw the much-antic­i­pat­ed and dread­ed ​“cica­da inva­sion,” an event where two dif­fer­ent types of cicadas — those that emerge every 13 years and those that emerge every 17 years — made their simul­ta­ne­ous appear­ance.
