Mayo Clinic Radio: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to focus on the importance of screening, treatment and disease prevention. More than 230,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women each year in the U.S., and more than 40,000 women die each year from the disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
