Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October 3, 2024
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the most common cancer globally. According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer affects 2.3 million people annually. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving survival rates. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer can lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment.
For valuable resources on early detection, including tips for self-exams and information about screening, visit the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Empower yourself with knowledge and help spread awareness this October!
In recent breast cancer research, a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) model has been able to identify certain breast tumor stages likely to progress to invasive cancer. The model could help clinicians assess breast cancer stages and ultimately help in reducing overtreatment.
