Why is Breast Cancer Awareness Important?
Breast cancer accounts for about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new cancers in women each year.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Health Choice knows there is nothing more important than early detection in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Breast cancer is sometimes found after symptoms appear, but many women with breast cancer have no symptoms. This is why regular breast cancer screening is so important and why we are inviting members to attend one of our upcoming breast cancer screening events. Members between the ages of 40 and 74 receive a $50 reward through our Healthy Rewards program.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends:
- Women who are 40 to 74 and are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years.
- Women who are 40 to 49 should talk to their doctor or other health care provider about when to start and how often to get a mammogram.
Early detection is the key to surviving breast cancer. 1 in 8 women, or approximately 13% of the female population in the U.S., will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers.
