PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ) - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of early detection and regular screenings.

Dr. Judy Jackson and Dr. Laura Lee with Desert Regional Medical Center say knowing your personal risk and recognizing changes in your breasts can help with early detection.
