If you or a loved one finds a breast lump, don’t panic. More than 80 percent of breast disorders are not cancerous. However, your chance for developing breast cancer increases greatly as you get older. That’s why examinations are so important—and where you get your mammogram makes a difference. The radiologists at Lehigh Valley Health Network’s Breast Health Services exceed the national average for finding cancer at its earliest, most curable stage.
