This government document describes the effectiveness of getting breast cancer screenings and encourages women to get screened. This would be helpful for reporters because it shows the benefits of getting screened. It also provides information on screening rates as related with effectiveness. It says that a woman who receives a cancer screening has a much lower mortality rate.

This document was published in an effort to raise international awareness of breast cancer. This would be useful for any reporter who is doing more of an international focus of the topic. This would be a good starting point for a more in depth look at how breast cancer effects other nations in the world. The document proposes a six month partnership to promote awareness about breast cancer in the Middle East with help from groups like the Susan G. Komen Foundation and the MD Anderson Cancer Center.
