Breast Cancer and Older Women

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

FYI
Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed among women in the United States after skin cancer and is the second leading cause of cancer death among women after lung cancer, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Nowadays, there are many resources for us to find information about breast cancer, which is crucial for promoting awareness and encouraging preventative measures. In fact, there is also more information tailored specifically for women who are older, highlighting the unique risks they face and the reasons to be even more vigilant about getting their yearly exams. Regular check-ups and screenings can significantly improve outcomes, as early detection is key in effectively managing this illness. The link below provides extensive information about the latest research, treatment options, and support groups, ensuring that women have access to the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their health and well-being.
