Understanding the Impact

Every October, we come together for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor those affected by breast cancer and to shine a spotlight on the vital role awareness plays in combating this disease. With one in eight women in the U.S. facing a breast cancer diagnosis at some point in their lives, our collective efforts in raising awareness are crucial.

The Stark Reality

Statistics show that by 2025, an estimated 316,950 women and 2,800 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, along with approximately 59,080 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer. These numbers emphasize the importance of awareness and early detection efforts.

Early Detection Saves Lives

The good news is that early detection can significantly alter the course of the disease. Approximately 66% of cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, where treatments are most effective, leading to a 99% five-year survival rate. This month serves as a powerful reminder to schedule your own routine screenings and encourage friends and loved ones to do the same.

You, as a reader, play a vital role in this awareness effort. Whether it's scheduling a screening for yourself or urging others to do so, your actions can make a difference. And if you have questions about what your insurance may cover concerning preventive care, I’m here to assist you.
