Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Important Stats

• About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 13%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of their lifetime
• Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among American women. In 2022, it's estimated that about 30% of newly diagnosed cancers in women will be breast cancers.
• Men are also at risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer. About 2,710 American men this year are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer

Get screened!

• Being familiar with how your breasts look and feel can help you notice symptoms such as lumps, pain, or changes in size that may be of concern.
• For those at average risk, have a mammogram every year starting at age 40. If there are any signs of breast cancer, finding it early and treating it early may save your life.
• About 85% of breast cancers occur in women who have no family history of breast cancer.
