Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among Australian women.
It was estimated in 2015 that approximately 42 women were diagnosed each day.
Self-breast examination is not a substitute for Mammography or for regular examination by a health care professional.
Diagnosed early, women have a greater chance of being successfully treated.
