Although many of us know at least one person affected by breast cancer, there is hope. Approximately 66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed before the cancer has spread outside of the breast, when it is easiest to treat. This early detection has significantly increased survival rates in recent years. There are over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

The third Friday of October marks National Mammography Day. Here are a few ways to celebrate the day:

// Schedule your mammogram and encourage the women in your life to schedule theirs too.
// Learn how to perform a breast self-exam. Stay breast self-aware, learn how your breasts normally look and feel, and keep track of any breast changes or abnormalities to share with your healthcare provider.
// Wear pink. While wearing pink won’t help prevent or diagnose breast cancer, it can be a good conversation starter to talk to others about the importance of early detection through receiving annual mammograms.
// Support and encourage the breast cancer patients and survivors in your life.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women, behind lung cancer. The chance that a woman will die from breast cancer is 1 in 39, or about 2.5%. In 2025, an estimated 42,170 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.

Breast cancer death rates have slowly decreased over time, for an overall decline of 44% since 1989. This is in part due to better screening and early detection efforts, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options. Women who receive regular screenings for breast cancer have a 26% lower breast cancer rate than women who do not receive screenings.
