When discussing his role as a physician and his advice to patients, Dr. Belliappa explains, "Please do not delay your breast cancer screening, even if you have no family history of breast cancer and you have no breast symptoms. Breast cancer is most often found in those with no family history. Many early-stage breast cancers have no associated symptoms, and can only be found with breast imaging. Early detection of cancer commonly leads to lower impact treatments and favorable outcomes."
