CLARIFICATION: This story incompletely reported Dr. Nancy DeMore's recommendations for breast cancer prevention. She recommends that women at average risk of breast cancer do monthly self-exams and yearly clinical breast exams in their 20s and yearly mammograms in their 40s. In addition, she said women at high risk should do yearly mammograms and breast MRIs starting at age 25 and can choose to undergo surgery to remove the breasts and ovaries. The Daily Tar Heel apologizes.
