Information for women with disabilities about breast cancer

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.
