Breast Cancer Awareness and Resources
Return to the Pathfinder Menu. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women living in the U.S. today. As risk increases with age, the best way to detect breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage is through safe, annual screening mammograms beginning at age 40. For additional information on breast cancer prevention and health, please contact Reference Services at the Morton Grove Public Library.
