October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is internationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is internationally recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All around the world, initiatives are organized to raise awareness about breast cancer, the most common cancer among women. Early detection saves lives: the earlier breast cancer is discovered, the greater the chances of successful treatment.
