- A Resource About Breast Cancer: National Awareness Month
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The statistics may be frightening, for one out of every eleven women will
- develop breast cancer during her lifetime, but early detection is the key to
- successful treatment. October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month,
- expanding the formally one week of activities to an entire month. Under the
- umbrella of the National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations, the events
- are cosponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians, as well as The
- American Cancer Society, American College of Radiology, National Cancer Care
- Foundation, National Cancer Institute, Susan G. Komen Foundation for the
- Advancement of Breast Cancer Research, and the ICI Pharmaceuticals Group,
- which is providing funds for this effort. You would be wise to request the
- newly revised booklet "Breast Cancer; Your Best Protection. . . Early
- Detection" by sending a stamped, self addressed business envelope to the
- National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations, P.O. Box 4333, Grand Central
- Station, New York, NY 10063. You may also ask the Alliance to send you their
- other materials developed to help inform you about Breast Cancer, and help you
- avoid its more serious complications.
