Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In recent years, perhaps coinciding with the decline in prescriptive hormone replacement therapy after menopause, we have seen a gradual reduction in female breast cancer incidence rates among women aged 50 and older. Death rates from breast cancer have been declining since about 1990, in

part due to better screening and early detection, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options.

In 2021, an

estimated 281,550 new

cases of invasive breast cancer will be

diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as

49,290 new cases of noninvasive (in situ)

breast cancer.

Awareness is essential! Help us be there for the women in our lives
