The survey, now in its third year, focused on understanding the role of breast density and cancer risk among women ages 18+ in the U.S. Read the press release: https://brnw.ch/21wLlaT. #BreastDensity #BreastCancerRisk

Sometimes a milestone is so significant that you have to pause and marvel at progress. Research recently published in JAMA Network Open indicates that breast cancer mortality rates fell by a staggering 58% between 1975 and 2019, thanks to dramatic advances in both early detection and treatment. The data speaks for itself - early detection saves lives. That said, there is still much to do. Each year 240,000 cases of breast cancer are diagnosed in women in the U.S and complex factors have created great inequities in breast cancer mortality. Brem Foundation to Defeat Breast Cancer is committed to driving continued progress while addressing these deep disparities. Each day we continue to pursue our mission with focus - working to detect early and save lives. #earlydetection #breastcancer Read more at Tinyurl.com/TWPMarch24

This October, consider including men in your breast cancer awareness campaigns! 💙🩷 Although still rare, the rate at which men experience breast cancer has been increasing. In addition, men are less likely to recognize symptoms early on, leading to worse outcomes. Raise support for everyone with matching aluminum bottles perfect for awareness marathons and events. Looking to plan your awareness campaign? Message us for more ideas! 🎗️ #BreastCancerAwareness #AwarenessCampaign #BreastCancerInMen
