Breast cancer is a complex disease that affects millions of women worldwide. It is important to educate yourself about the risk factors, symptoms, prevention methods, and treatment options available. At Muir Diablo Occupational Medicine, we are dedicated to raising awareness and empowering individuals to take charge of their breast health.
Early Detection and Prevention
Early detection is key when it comes to overcoming breast cancer. Regular screenings, self-examinations, and knowledge of the warning signs are vital in catching the disease in its early stages. Our team of experts will guide you on how to perform self-examinations and provide insights into the different screening methods available.

Understanding the risk factors associated with breast cancer can help you make informed lifestyle choices to reduce your risk. Age, family history, hormonal factors, and certain genetic mutations are some of the factors that can increase the likelihood of developing breast cancer. Our comprehensive resources will help you assess your risk and make proactive decisions.

Maintaining a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, limiting alcohol consumption, avoiding tobacco, and managing stress are all essential habits to promote overall well-being.
