TOOLKIT: National Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer is the second most common kind of cancer in women.

The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it’s found and treated early. Using mammograms  to screen for breast cancer can help find it early when it’s easier to treat.

National Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a chance to raise awareness about the importance of early detection of breast cancer.

With this and other National Health Observances toolkits offered on healthfinder.gov, we’ve made it easier for you to make a difference.
