Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Early Detection
October is breast cancer awareness month, and a local hospital is bringing attention to the significance of early detection.
According to recent research, one in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
The CDC reports that breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women.
We’ve made great progress in terms of treatment of breast cancer and if we get early detection, then there are multitudes of treatments that now we can do, I would say 25 years ago, that could not happen.
- Early detection is crucial, as treatment options become more limited as breast cancer stages get higher.
- WVU Medicine Princeton Community Hospital is focused on educating the community on the importance of self-breast exams.
Author summary: Breast cancer awareness month highlights importance of early detection.
