(Black PR Wire) October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to remember those who have lost their lives, honor survivors, support those in treatment and highlight the importance of early detection. According to the American Cancer Society, Black women have the highest death rate from breast cancer.
Early detection and prevention are critical in the fight against breast cancer. Regular self-exams, timely mammograms, and ongoing conversations with healthcare providers can help detect breast cancer at its earliest stages and improve outcomes. Culturally competent support also matters. Organizations such as Black Women’s Health Imperative (BWHI), Sisters Network® Inc. and Touch, The Black Breast Cancer Alliance offer essential resources to empower patients and families.
Whether you schedule your screening, support a local awareness walk, or share educational resources, we all play a role in the fight against breast cancer.
