Think Pink: Breast Cancer Awareness Month [Infographic]
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a yearly initiative to raise awareness about breast cancer. Spreading the word about breast cancer is vital: According to the National Cancer Institute, the five-year survival rate for breast cancer patients is nearly 90% when it’s detected in an early stage. It’s critical to recognize the risks for this disease and to identify how to detect it early on – it could mean your (or a loved one’s) life!
