October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we at Weill Cornell Medicine, including the Meyer Cancer Center together with NewYork-Presbyterian, are dedicated to continuing to deliver world class care in the prevention and treatment of this disease. We want to take the time this month to celebrate survivors and their loved ones, raise awareness around the importance of early detection and screening, spotlight the advances in treatment options, and provide more information on our multidisciplinary approach to holistic care.
In partnership with NewYork-Presbyterian, Weill Cornell Medicine provides a comprehensive range of early detection and prevention programs for breast cancer including mammography, clinical breast exams, enhanced surveillance, and genetic counseling and testing.

Vivian J. Bea, MD and Evelyn Robles-Rodriguez, DNP will lead this open conversation as to why mammograms and early detection are so critical, even during a pandemic. It’s now clear the coronavirus will be in our communities longer than expected, and the public should not put off health maintenance and important screenings like mammography. Doing so can delay diagnosis and possibly limit treatment options due to more advanced disease at the time of diagnosis. Open to everyone.
