Most women are likely to have regular mammogram screenings; however,
women with disabilities are less likely to have been screened within
the
recommended guidelines. To encourage women with disabilities to get screened for breast cancer, CDC is promoting
the facts about breast cancer and
tips to make getting a quality mammogram and clinical examination easier through its campaign
"Breast Cancer Screening: The Right to Know." Learn more about
The Right to Know campaign's resources and materials like tip sheets by visiting the website:
www.cdc.gov/righttoknow.
These materials can assist health care professionals, organizations,
and their partners effectively communicate the need for early and
regular breast cancer screening for women living with physical
disabilities.
