One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime, and in 2024 nearly 3,000 men will be diagnosed. It's very likely you know someone who has been personally affected by breast cancer.
Early detection is pivotal in this fight. Through monthly self-exams, exams by a physician and annual mammograms, it is important to stay vigilant when it comes to any changes in your breasts like a new lump or skin changes.
If you have a concern, schedule an appointment with your primary care or women's health provider. If you do not have one — we can help!

Watch this story of a courageous young woman diagnosed with breast cancer while on her journey to becoming a motherhood.
Taylor received compassionate cancer care close to home at UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center and safely delivered her high-risk pregnancy at our academic medical center University of Maryland Medical Center.
Today, Taylor and baby Maya are thriving.
Tackling breast cancer is a team effort. Our care teams are doing miraculous work every day in our cancer centers. But when it comes to research and innovation, it would not be possible to discover and access new therapies and treatments without the generosity of our donors.
If stories such as Taylor's move and motivate you to be involved, we would greatly appreciate your support.
