Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Some 212,920 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, and more than 40,000 will die from the disease. While we don't know how to prevent breast cancer, it's clear that early detection is crucial in saving lives. This page has been compiled to help you learn more about the latest treatments and research advances. If you have individual questions about breast cancer, call the Cancer AnswerLine at 800-865-1125 and speak directly to a cancer nurse.
