October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which emphasizes the importance of screening and prevention as breast cancer diagnoses in women under 50 increase by over 2% annually.
The good news is that due to improved screening and treatment, breast cancer deaths have dropped by about 40% in the past three decades, emphasizing early detection.
Risk factors for breast cancer include age, family history, genetic mutations, and lifestyle choices. It's crucial to discuss these factors with your healthcare provider.
Utilizing tools like the Breast Cancer Risk Assessment Tool and the IBIS Tool can help individuals evaluate their personal risk for developing invasive breast cancer.
