In Iowa, the rate of breast cancer has increased in the last five years according to the Centers for Disease Control, making early detection even more important. Washington County Hospital and Clinics lead mammographer Chelsea Fisher says early detection is key, “Early detection is important because finding a cancer when it is the size of a pencil tip versus finding a cancer that you have already felt in your breast can mean a huge difference when it comes to your treatment plan, your oncology plan, and honestly your life expectancy.” Washington County’s breast cancer incidence rate is significantly higher than both state and national averages, with 25 cases diagnosed annually Routine screenings are recommended to begin at age 40, and at-home breast self-exams should be done monthly. Those interested can schedule an appointment by calling WCHC at 319-863-3964. </div></body>
