   October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

 

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. The average risk of a woman in the United States developing breast cancer sometime in her life is about 13%. This means there is a 1 in 8 chance she will develop breast cancer. This also means there is a 7 in 8 chance she will never have the disease.  

The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2021 are: 

  • About 281,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women. 
  • About 49,290 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed.  
  • About 43,600 women will die from breast cancer.
