Our medical system’s approach to breast health and screening for breast cancer can feel overwhelming, isolating, and labyrinthine.

One of our nation’s leading authorities on breast health, Dr. Port offers advice on how to reduce your risk, when to screen, and how to make decisions about your treatment. Her mantra, “if you feel something, say something," underscores the importance of self-advocacy and vigilance — an emotionally resonant, informative approach that aims to demystify breast health at every stage of your life.
