Breast Cancer Myths vs Facts

At Core Concierge Health, we know that clear, accurate information is crucial when it comes to breast cancer. Unfortunately, myths and misconceptions can cause unnecessary fear, confusion, or even delay in seeking care. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let’s debunk some common myths and share facts that empower you to take control of your health.

Myth 1: Only women with a family history of breast cancer are at risk.
Fact: While family history increases risk, most breast cancer cases occur in women with no family history. That’s why regular screenings are important for everyone.

Myth 2: Wearing underwire bras causes breast cancer.
Fact: There is no scientific evidence linking underwire bras or any type of bra to breast cancer.

Myth 3: If you have no symptoms, you don’t need a mammogram.
Fact: Early breast cancer often has no symptoms. Mammograms can detect cancer before you feel anything, improving treatment outcomes.

Myth 4: Breast cancer only affects older women.
Fact: Although risk increases with age, younger women can and do get breast cancer. Awareness and self-exams are important at any age.

At Core Concierge Health, we’re committed to providing evidence-based guidance and personalized care to help you make informed decisions. Don’t let myths stand in the way of your health — if you have questions or concerns, we’re here to support you.
