Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know the following Breast Cancer stats?

  • 1 in 8 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime
  • In 2022, an estimated 287,550 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the U.S. as well as 51,400 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer.
  • 65% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage (there is no sign that cancer has spread outside of the breast), for which the 5-year survival rate is 99%.
  • This year, an estimated 43,550 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.
  • Although rare, men get breast cancer too. In 2022, an estimated 2,710 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year in the U.S. and approximately 530 will die.
  • Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers. It is estimated that in 2022, approximately 30% of all new women’s cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.
  • There are over 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
  • On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.

 

This October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month, go to nationalbreastcancer.org to learn more about breast cancer. Don’t forget to schedule a mammogram for early detection (whether you are male or female). Remember…Early detection saves lives!
