-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Join in the conversations - October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Learn new information on treatments, lowering your risk factors, and how to thrive after surviving cancer. In the United States, breast cancer continues to be the most common cancer after non-melanoma skin cancer, and it is the second leading cause of cancer death. This year, the American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that more than 290,560 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 51,400 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ/stage 0 breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States. While there has been an overall 42 percent decline in breast cancer deaths over the last 30 years—thanks to gains in awareness, early diagnosis, and treatment—there is a persistent mortality gap between Black women and white women.
