10 Points These two actions are good ways most women can reduce breast cancer risk.
5
What is a healthy diet and physical activity?
We should also accept control/maintain a healthy weight, and reduce alcohol intake as legit answers. (Mammograms are good too, but they don’t prevent breast cancer, so that answer is not accepted for this one.) Return to board.
6
20 Points See this person regularly to find out about tests to find cancer early.
7
What is your Healthcare Provider?
Return to board.
8
30 Points Adults should get at least 75 to 150 minutes of this – added to their daily activities – every week.
9
What is moderate to vigorous physical activity?
The cancer prevention recommendations call for 75 minutes of vigorous physical activity or 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week above your usual activity. You can also do a mix, such as 60 minutes of vigorous activity and 30 minutes of moderate activity in a week. (The easiest way to tally it is that minutes of vigorous activity count double toward the 150 minute total.) Return to board.
10
These are things to limit when you are trying to eat a healthy diet.
40 Points These are things to limit when you are trying to eat a healthy diet.
11
What are red meats and processed meats?

12
Daily Double Make your wager
13
Daily Double Doing this causes lung cancer, is linked to colon cancer, and can worsen outcomes for breast cancer treatment.
14
What is smoking? Return to board.
15
To find cancers before they start to cause symptoms
10 Points To find cancers before they start to cause symptoms
16
What is early detection? or What is screening?
Both answers should be accepted. Return to board.
17
X-ray pictures that are taken after the breast is compressed.
20 Points X-ray pictures that are taken after the breast is compressed.
18
What is a mammogram? Return to board.
(Note: I have left this in because some health care providers will keep doing clinical breast exams. However, they are no longer on our list of recommended screening methods) Return to board.
19
30 Points Knowing and reporting changes in how the breast feels, a change in how the breast or nipple looks, or if you have nipple discharge.
20
What is breast self- awareness?
Return to board.
21
40 Points A woman at average risk for breast cancer should begin yearly mammography at age 45, and at age 55 should switch to screening every two years. Women should have the opportunity to begin screening as early as age 40, and to continue screening every year at age 55 depending on their personal values and preferences.
22
What is the ACS Breast Cancer Screening Guideline?
The 2015 guidelines for women with an average risk of breast cancer have changed: Women between ages 40 to 44 should have the choice to start breast cancer screening with yearly mammograms if they wish to do so. Women age 45 to 54 should get mammograms every year. Women 55 and older should switch to mammograms every 2 years, or can continue yearly screening. Screening with mammograms should continue as long as a woman is in good health. All women should be familiar with the known benefits, limitations, and potential harms linked to breast cancer screening. Women at high risk for breast cancer – because of their family history, a genetic tendency, or certain other factors – should be screened with MRIs along with mammograms. (The number of women who fall into this category is very small.) Talk with a health professional about your risk for breast cancer and the best screening plan for you. Return to board.
23
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breasts
50 Points Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the breasts Breast MRIs are available in some but not all facilities, and are recommended only for some women (seen next slide…)
24
What should high-risk women get each year, along with their mammograms?
The American Cancer Society recommends that women at high risk for breast cancer should get extra breast cancer screening in the form of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI of the breasts. Usually, these are women who have a lot of breast cancer in their families or who have been tested and found to have a gene mutation that puts them at high risk for breast cancer. A person who suspects they might have a higher breast cancer risk should talk with their health care providers to find out whether they fall into the high-risk group. People who turn out to be high risk should get their yearly mammograms, and also get MRI tests each year. Return to board.
25
The #1 risk factor for developing breast cancer.
10 Points The #1 risk factor for developing breast cancer.
26
What is being a woman? Return to board.
Being female is also OK as an answer. Return to board.

28

29
30 Points Having two or more of these each day increases the risk of getting breast cancer by about 25%.
30
What are alcoholic beverages?
The recommendations from the American Cancer Society say this: If you drink alcohol, limit intake to 2 drinks per day or less for men, and 1 drink per day or less for women. A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof distilled spirits. Women are recommended to drink less because body size and metabolism of alcohol in women is different from that in men, so that smaller amounts of alcohol affect women more. If a question comes up about environmental cancer: Certain environmental factors may cause cancer, such as excessive exposure to sunlight, radioactivity, and other exposures at home, at work, or outdoors For information about these exposures you can visit (choose Stay Healthy, then Other Ways to Protect Yourself. You can read about cancer-causing agents, which are called carcinogens.) Return to board.
