@kylerichards18 : As some of you might know, I lost my mother to breast cancer in 2002. At the time, she hadn’t had a mammogram in 5 years and I truly believe she would still be here today if she had gotten screened on time. As the mother of 4 daughters, raising awareness about the importance of early detection is near and dear to me. Preventative screening is our best tool in the fight against breast cancer, a disease that will affect 1 in 8 women in their lifetime. However, many women still skip this essential exam. In fact, a 2017 survey of 10,000 women found that fear of physical discomfort was the top reason cited for avoiding a mammogram by women who never had one. While I can certainly empathize with these feelings, I’m happy to share that painful mammograms are now a thing of the past. The @hologic SmartCurve breast stabilization system has been clinically proven to deliver a more comfortable mammogram without comprising image quality or results. As opposed to the traditional flat paddle compression that can cause the infamous pinching and discomfort, the SmartCurve system features a curved surface that mirrors the shape of woman’s breast. The more comfortable system is available exclusively with Hologic’s Genius 3D Mammography exam, the only mammogram that detects more invasive cancers, reduces false positives, and is FDA approved as superior to conventional 2D mammography for all women, including those with dense breasts.
