This year, more than 268,600 women and 2,600 men will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer (cancer that has spread from where it started in the breast into the surrounding healthy tissue), and more than 42,260 will die from the disease.
If diagnosed early and treated before it spreads, five-year survival rate for breast cancer is 99 percent.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer from prevention, detection, treatment, care, to cure.
