What every woman should know about breast cancer DVD

We hear so much about breast cancer these days, but how much is fact and how much is fiction?

"My aunt had breast cancer - does this mean I am at risk?"
"Is it true that wearing antiperspirant deodorant causes breast cancer?"

If you have ever pondered these and other questions, you are not alone. One in eight Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, so it's important to know the facts.

Johanna Griggs presents potentially life-saving information from the National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre that every woman should know.

The DVD is available to order from National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre or view online. Please note: the online video presentation requires a Flash plugin and is best viewed over a broadband connection.

This short DVD, developed by the National Breast Cancer Centre*, is packed with evidence-based, factual information and answers women's most frequently asked questions about breast cancer.

It provides women with the facts about risk factors, the types of breast changes to look out for, and also dispels some of the myths and misconceptions about the disease.

* In February 2008, National Breast Cancer Centre (NBCC) changed its name to National Breast and Ovarian Cancer Centre (NBOCC).
