We live in a time when women live longer, and breast cancer is no exception. It has now become the leading cause of death for American women.

Get the facts about breast cancer
There are several myths surrounding breast cancer and its treatment. Here are some of the most common ones and how to debunk them.
While breast cancer is most commonly found in women between the ages of 40 and 60, it can happen to anyone. Women under 30 are just as likely to develop breast cancer as those over 65.
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer diagnosed in women, yet it only accounts for around 1.7% of all cancer cases. It’s the most common cancer in women aged 20-39.
Women who have never breastfed are more likely to get breast cancer, but not because of their size.
A lump is not always a sign of breast cancer. Sometimes it’s just a benign cyst or other problem.
It’s possible to detect breast cancer in your breasts. Most breast lumps are found by self-examination, and tey’rearey not painful.
A family history of breast cancer does not mean you are more likely to get it.
If you’re interested in getting involved with breast cancer, you can do so in several ways.
First, many organizations and charities are devoted to helping those affected by breast cancer. You can learn more about these organizations here.
Second, you can also volunteer your time. There are many ways to do this, but walking or running is one of the most popular. You can find a list.
Support the cause with breast cancer awareness campaigns
In recent years, breast cancer has seen a massive increase in awareness. It is now the leading cause of death among women.
However, not all women know the facts, and many believe that only women diagnosed with breast cancer have a real reason to be worried.
I believe this is a terrible misconception, and we must correct it.
While no single thing causes breast cancer, several factors put you at a higher risk of developing it.
These include age, family history, genetics, and lifestyle habits. In other words, starting a healthier lifestyle and getting regular checkups is never too late.
What’s the best way to raise awareness?
There are many ways to raise awareness, but the most effective ones are generally the least expensive.
While many experts recommend advertising, this is the least effective method. Ads can be costly, and the results are often poor.
Instead, consider creating a content-rich piece that educates readers.
A good way to educate your audience is by writing an infographic that shows facts about breast cancer.
An example of an infographic that educates readers is the one created by the American Cancer Society.

Conclusion
Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women between the ages of 40 and 55. This year, Breast Cancer Awareness Month is coming up on October 1st.
According to the American Cancer Society, there were 2.7 million new breast cancer cases in the United States last year alone. That’s a lot of women and a lot of potential sales.
For decades, doctors have relied on mammograms as a way to detect breast cancer at an early stage, when it’s easier to treat. But the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force says that mammograms can miss up to half of all breast cancers because of their limited sensitivity. So in 2010, the task force recommended that women between 50 and 74 get only annual mammograms—and no more than once every other year. Now, the FDA is considering a similar recommendation.
