The Barry-Eaton District Health Department provides breast and cervical cancer
screening through the Michigan Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP).
In a clinical atmosphere, a safe, reputable and thorough screening is provided as
well as follow-up care if needed.
 | The best way to survive cancer is to find it early, when it is most easily treated. |
| Every year, more than 1,600 Michigan women die from breast cancer and 160 women die from cervical cancer. |
| Although all women are at risk to develop breast cancer, this risk increases as a woman gets older. |
| There are simple tests to screen for both breast and cervical cancer. |
| If you are 40 years of age or older, you should get a mammogram (a type of breast X-ray) and a breast exam by a health professional every year. |
| All women should receive regular Pap smears, the screening test for cervical cancer, from their doctor or health care provider. |
