Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection program declined by 87% in April 2020.

Sarah Cate, director of the special surveillance and breast program at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City, told Fox News.

Men can get breast cancer, too … Women can get breast cancer while pregnant or breastfeeding so see a breast doctor if you have a lump or any changes to the skin of the breast.".

According to Cate, women with a strong family history of breast cancer, even without a genetic mutation, begin mammography 10 years before the first relative was diagnosed with breast cancer

Rust, the patient, told Fox News that it was only after her cancer diagnosis that she went for genetic testing

Rust said she was negative for the BRCA gene, which is typically associated with a significant breast cancer risk, although she did have the CHEK2 gene which is another genetic marker for risks of cancers including breast and colorectal cancers
