Hey ѕρєє¢нιєѕ ;
October is also breast cancer awareness month.
• About 1 in 8 U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime.
• In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 48,530 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
•About 2,620 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2020. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 883.
• Death rates have been steady in women under 50 since 2007, but have continued to drop in women over 50. The overall death rate from breast cancer decreased by 1.3% per year from 2013 to 2017.
These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances and earlier detection through screening.
If you haven’t done so already please call your healthcare provider and schedule your yearly exam ~ Early Detection can Save Lives
