Mrs. Arizona America 2022, Emily Dille, is a “previvor.” A previvor is someone who takes action to reduce or eliminate the risk of genetic cancer before it develops. 

 

After losing her mom to breast cancer 6 years ago, last year Emily made the choice to have a preventive double mastectomy. When

pre-cancerous cells were discovered in the pathology from that surgery, it was clear that her proactive choice had indeed prevented her breast cancer.   

 

Emily’s goal as Mrs. Arizona is to normalize the term “previvor.” Sharing how her choice may have saved her life, she wants more women to have the same choice available to them.
