Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, encourage preventive care, and remind employees that routine screenings can help detect health concerns before symptoms appear.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting women, but when detected early, treatment is often more successful and less invasive. Regular screenings play a critical role in identifying potential issues early, often before they can be seen or felt.
Know Your Recommended Screenings
Preventive care is not one-size-fits-all. Screening recommendations vary based on age, gender, family history, and individual risk factors. Staying up to date on the screenings appropriate for you can help protect your long-term health.
For Women
- Mammograms are one of the most effective tools for detecting breast cancer early.
- Talk with your healthcare provider about when to begin mammogram screenings and how often they should be completed.
- Routine preventive visits can also help identify risk factors and determine whether additional screenings are recommended.
For Men
- While breast cancer is much less common in men, it can still occur. Men should be aware of changes in their breast tissue and discuss any concerns with their healthcare provider. In addition, receiving age-appropriate screenings are important components of preventive health.
