October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society 2023 Key Statistics for Breast Cancer:

  • 55,720 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed
  • 43,700 women will die from breast cancer

In an effort to support outreach activities and increase awareness of breast cancer within your program and your community, the Commission on Cancer (CoC)  and the National Accreditation for Breast Centers (NAPBC) have developed resources to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
