Breast Disease
Breast diseases can be classified either with disorders of the integuement, or disorders of the reproductive system. A majority of breast diseases are noncancerous.
Breast awareness is a goal of the breast health movement. Rather than promoting the largely ineffective, formally structured breast self-examinations, breast awareness promotes informal familiarity with the normal state of a woman's breasts.

Famous quotes containing the words breast and/or disease:
“Getting ready: the show girl scratches her breast and shakes out her feathers.”

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
