CANCER FACTS

SAVING
MORE LIVES

We still don't know the cause
of human breast cancer but
medical science does know how
to save more lives today -if
women cooperate. .

One of the ‘Seven sleps to
health’ promoted by the
Canadian Cancer Society is to
practice’ monthly breast: self-
examinallon. Al the firsl sign of
an unusual lump or thickening
in the breast, women are urgetl
lo see their doctor. § .

Many breast lumps indicate a

something that should’ ‘be
checked by a doctor..

If a woman has a lump
properly checked, she will gain
peace of mind if nothing is the
matter, If cancer is present,
she will benefit from early
treatment, because the earlier:
cancer is diagnosed, ihe better ©
the chance af cure. ° .
