Pennsylvania SR279 recognizes May 2026 as "National Mammography Month" to encourage breast cancer screening.

Pennsylvania SR279 recognizes May 2026 as "National Mammography Month" to encourage residents, especially those in high-risk groups, to schedule mammograms. The resolution highlights the importance of early detection, noting that mammograms can detect cancer early, often before it can be felt and when it is most treatable. It also emphasizes the need for regular screenings, especially for women in their 40s and those with higher risk factors, such as Black women and those with BRCA gene mutations.
