The month of October has been designated The National Breast Cancer
Awareness Month (NBCAM) organization is comprised of several national
public service organizations, professional medical associations, and
government agencies working in partnership to build breast cancer awareness,
share information and provide access to screening services. NBCAM,
and www.nbcam.com,
are a year-round resource for patients, survivors, caregivers and the
general public.
Since its beginning more than 20 years ago, NBCAM has been dedicated
to increasing awareness of breast cancer issues, especially the importance
of early detection. NBCAM has evolved along with the national dialogue
on breast cancer. Many strides have been made in breast cancer awareness
and treatment, but even more still needs to be accomplished. We are focused
on encouraging women to take charge of their own breast health, by practicing
regular self-breast exams, making sure to schedule an annual mammogram,
adhering to prescribed treatment and knowing the facts about recurrence.
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and we encourage
you to visit the site in October and regularly throughout the year as
information and resources are updated.
