Early Breast Cancer Detection Saves Lives: Know the Signs and Use Your Wellness Benefits

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, but early detection can make all the difference. When caught early, breast cancer is highly treatable, and survival rates are significantly higher. That’s why regular screenings and knowing the warning signs are essential steps in protecting your health — or the health of someone you love.


Why early detection matters

Early-stage breast cancer often has no symptoms, which is why routine screenings like mammograms are so critical. These tests can detect abnormalities before they become noticeable, giving you and your health care provider a head start on treatment options.

According to the American Cancer Society, women aged 40 and older should begin annual mammograms, while those with a family history or other risk factors may need to start earlier.


Use your wellness benefits

Many people don’t realize that their supplemental insurance may include wellness benefits that cover preventive screenings like mammograms — often at no additional cost.

Take advantage of these resources:

  • Schedule your annual wellness visit
  • Ask your provider about breast cancer screenings
  • Review your USAble Life benefits to see what’s covered

Preventive care isn’t just about staying healthy — it’s about staying informed and proactive.


Encourage others to act

Whether it’s your sister, friend, coworker, or neighbor, a simple reminder can lead to a life-saving decision. Share this message. Start the conversation. Help others understand the importance of early detection.

Your health is worth it. Your benefits support it. Don’t wait — schedule your screening today.
