Breast cancer Primary prevention include most importantly the detection of risk factors for development of the disease. 20 risk factors are listed on Breastcancer.org. In any specific population, these risks are more or less frequent. The secondary prevention involves active screening. The standard in our communities is by mammography. Tertiary prevention involves the navigation of diagnosed patients through the various modalities of treatments (radiation, surgery and chemotherapy). It also include the survivorship interventions. At each step, CRBCM has designed an appropriate intervention. However, funding for their implementation is hard to find. Support CRBCM by joining our volunteers or by Donating. Call 915-307-3354 to lend a hand. The time is now, Move... on, with us!
