John's Place -Personalize Auto Care Recognizes National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 9, 2009 -- Since NBCAM began in 1985, mammography rates have more than doubled for women age 50 and older and breast cancer deaths have declined. This is exciting progress, but there are still women who do not take advantage of early detection at all and others who do not get screening mammograms and clinical breast exams at regular intervals.

• Women age 65 and older are less likely to get mammograms than younger women, even though breast cancer risk increases with age.

“If all women age 40 and older took advantage of early detection methods – mammography plus clinical breast exam – breast cancer death rates would drop much further, up to 30 percent,”

“The key to mammography screening is that it be done routinely – once is not enough.”

For more information about NBCAM, please visit www.nbcam.org. For additional information, please call one of the following toll-free numbers: American Cancer Society,
(800) 227-2345, National Cancer Institute (NCI), (800) 4-CANCER, Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization, (800) 221-2141.

If you’ve been meaning to get your car serviced, now’s the time. Please come on down and get your oil changed, winterize your car, or put your snow tires on – and support the fight against breast cancer. We look forward to seeing you soon!
