National Health Observance October 2020

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant cells form in the tissues of the breast. Research estimates that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer during her life. It is important to know that men can be diagnosed with breast cancer as well, although only 1% of breast cancer patients are male. While most people are aware of breast cancer, many forget to take the steps to have a plan to detect the disease in its early stages and encourage others to do the same.
