Early Detection Saves Lives.
Time can be everything when it comes to breast cancer. When found at its earliest stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is more than 99%. Most importantly, early detection allows for less intensity of care for patients and better health outcomes.
But early detection isn't equally available to everyone. Screening guidance is confusing. Diagnostic testing is expensive. And for too many, a ride to the appointment or the cost of the test stands between them and a life-saving diagnosis.
This October, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, join your friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers in removing barriers, empowering women, and funding lifesaving access to breast care.
Rally your network around early detection. Their support can save lives.
