A Breast Cancer Test that Saves Lives
A great article from Reuters –
“Dr. Sweeten, a board-certified gynecologist and Fellow of the American College
of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, recently incorporated the Provista Life
Science BT Test®, a blood test for the detection of breast cancer, into her
patient care practice. Sweeten noted a case where a 44-year-old patient called
to schedule her annual mammogram, and in advance of the mammogram Sweeten

October Elevates Awareness of Breast Cancer…
I was looking for other breast cancer sites and came across breastcancer.org. It is a very useful site that has tons of information. I stumbled across their press room and found this article.
“Breast cancer has shifted from a taboo subject to one that is discussed freely in the media and in our daily lives. Young women are not immune to these messages. And the reality is that most girls have a first- or second-hand connection to someone with breast cancer – and limited age-appropriate information on the facts of breast cancer. As a result, it’s not surprising that Breastcancer.org found misinformation to be prevalent among young women in the United States, promoting unnecessary fears.”
