Dr. Robin Williams on What You Need to Know to Prevent Breast Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Do you know the best ways to protect yourself? As it turns out, mammograms are just part of the overall recommended strategy. Renowned breast surgeon Dr. Robin Williams breaks down not only how mammograms work but why prevention is the best cure, how to be empowered when it comes to your breast health, and how to combat any fears you may have on the subject which, she explains, also applies to men, not just women. There is also good news: breast cancer is not a death sentence. Dr. Williams is a clinical associate professor and director of Breast Surgical Oncology at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C. A graduate of The John Hopkins University and the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Dr. Williams has more than 30 years of experience as a surgeon.

Komen for the Cure, and the Tennessee Breast Cancer Coalition.
