October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of breast cancer detection and treatment. For many women, early detection can make all the difference in the battle against breast cancer. By taking the time to learn about the risks, understand the statistics, and prioritize regular screenings, you could save a life—potentially your own.
The Importance of Early Detection
Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among women in Arizona and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in our state. Each year, over 5,000 women in Arizona hear the words, “You have breast cancer.” But here’s the good news: 72% of these cases are found early when treatment is most effective. These numbers are a powerful reminder that being proactive about your health really does make a difference.
How Denova Collaborative Health Can Help
At Denova Collaborative Health, we’re more than just a healthcare provider—we’re your partner in wellness. We understand that a breast cancer diagnosis touches every part of your life, not just your body. That’s why our integrated care model is designed to support you as a whole person. Our team of primary care providers, therapists, and psychiatrists work together to make sure you’re cared for both physically and emotionally.
When you come in for your well woman visit, you’re not just getting a check-up—you’re taking an important step in protecting your health. Our primary care providers will guide you through the screenings you need, and if a mammogram is necessary, we’ll help you with the referral, making the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. And if you ever need someone to talk to about the challenges that come with a diagnosis, our therapists and psychiatrists are here for you.
Our providers are here to support your overall health before, during and after a cancer diagnosis. Whether it’s discussing your family history, understanding the effects of hormone therapy, or just answering any questions you might have, our Arizona primary care team has you covered. Plus, with our virtual primary care options, you can get the care you need without leaving the comfort of your home.
