It is estimated that 860 Utah women will learn they have breast cancer this year and some 210 will die from this disease. In 1994, the most recent year for which Utah Cancer Registry data is available, Uintah County reported eight breast cancer diagnoses. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Friday, Oct. 18, was National Mammography Day. Until a prevention pre-vention for breast cancer is found, early detection is the best protection. protec-tion. The best early detection tool is mammography. A mammogram can often detect breast cancer years before be-fore it can be felt with breast self examination (BSE) or by a clinical examination by a trained health care provider. Unfortunately, fewer than half of the women over age 40 in this country have regular screening mammograms. "We hold bi-monthly, women's cancer screening clinics which were started in December of 1995. It will be a one year anniversary soon," said Elaine Camp, scrccncr at the Uintah Basin Public Health Department. Program costs arc low and many women qualify for mammogram vouchers. Complete breast cancer screening guidelines recommended by the American Cancer Society include: Monthly BSE beginning by age 20 Clinical breast exam every three years from age 20-40, annually (hereafter. Screening mammogram by age 40, followed by a mammogram every ev-ery one to two years through age 49. Annual mammogram beginning by age 50. Now a year-long program, National Breast Cancer Awarencs Month (NBCAM) enters its second decade of public and professional educational out reach efforts. The involvement of major nun profit, national cancer organizations and government agencies assures thai NBCAM reaches millions of people and cMcnds into communities across America. The Capitol Council for Early Detection (CCLD) is a group ho supports the importance of early de tcction of breast cancer.

Reach to Recovery gives those with a personal concern about breast cancer the opportunity to visit vis-it with breast cancer survivors. These carefully selected and trained volunteers offer tips about treatment and recovery, answer questions, listen lis-ten to concerns, and leave valuable booklets and other materials for patients pa-tients to use during (he breast cancer can-cer journey. Last year three Uintah County patients joined the more than 400 Utahns who were helped by Reach to Recovery. Each year a few Utah men also receive a diagnosis diag-nosis of breast cancer. There is a Reach to Recovery volunteer ready to respond to their needs as well. When asked if breast cancer could be hereditary. Camp answered by saying "The risk is increased if there is any family history, but a woman's risk for breast cancer Is even greater if there is a history of breast cancer in her mother, sister or even her daughter. In 1994 a discovery dis-covery was made of 2 genes that sscre linked to breast cancer, BR CA'I and BRCA-2 and this is ccit ing. But studies show these genes can account for only 5 to 10 percent of atl breast cancer " To Icatn more about hteat cancer or to take advantage of any of the educational or patient services offered of-fered hy the American Cancer Society, call toll free at I MO ACS' 2545 or the Uintah Bain hiblic Health Drpartmcnt at 7SI-3.VW.
