NEW YORK (AP) - With fewer women getting mammograms in New York and nationwide, some of the city's most powerful women gathered at City Hall on Wednesday to spread public awareness about the breast cancer screening tool.
"It's not fun; no one likes it; it's not pleasant. ... But if there's anything you can do to really save your life, when it's all said and done, this is it," said "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl.
The American Cancer Society says yearly mammograms for women 40 and older are the most effective test for early detection of breast cancer, a disease that will likely claim more than 40,400 lives this year.
