Women under 40 face conflicting advice when it comes to breast cancer screenings

Study finds more young women developing breast cancer

NEW YORK -- A recent study found more young women are developing breast cancer

Women under 40 often get conflicting advice about prevention, and they face unique challenges once diagnosed.

McNamara is the chief of medical gynecologic oncology at Hackensack University Medical Center, and Bograd was diagnosed when she was just 31 years old and pregnant.
