Mammogram Brochure Available in 3 Asian Languages

Did you know that breast cancer is on the rise for women of Asian and Pacific Islander descent living in the United States? Yet Asian and Pacific Islander women over age 40 get mammograms less often than other groups of women in the U.S.

The National Cancer Institute (NCI) recommends that women in their 40s and older get a mammogram every 1 to 2 years. NCI, in cooperation with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), produced a new brochure about the importance of mammograms called "Do it For Yourself, Do it For Your Family."
