Many factors contribute to this high mortality rate due to breast cancer: a lack of breast health care information and regular monthly self exams, economic barriers that limit screening and diagnostic testing, cultural barriers and fears about healthcare systems – including confusion about medical providers – can all cause delays and result in late-stage breast cancer diagnosis and/or proper treatment. *

Saint Thomas Health Breast Cancer Program provides over 40,000 mammograms and diagnoses and treats over 950 women with breast cancer per year.

69% of women nationally get recommended routine mammography screenings. In Tennessee the average is 42%, due mainly to lack of access. **
