Early detection of breast cancer through mammographies has proven effective in helping women survive the disease. Even so, thousands of women each year do not get their mammograms because they are uninsured and/or cannot afford the costs. The American-Italian Cancer Foundation’s (AICF) mobile, No-Cost Breast Cancer Screening Program, which provides no-cost mammograms and clinical breast exams to uninsured and medically underserved New York City women, will be hosting 22 screening events in October all throughout New York City.
