Through the use of their Pink Ribbon campaign, the National Breast Cancer Foundation helps focus the national conversation on the impact breast cancer has and the lives it impacts. Unfortunately, statistics show that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer, accounting for nearly 13% of cases worldwide. While the majority of patients diagnosed are biologically female, there is a percentage that is male.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, breast cancer incidence rates have decreased over the past two decades. One theory behind this is the decreased use of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy). This was due to an extensive study by the Women\u2019s Health Initiative that found correlation between the two. However, despite this initial decrease in cases, it is still the most common form of cancer.<\/p>\n<p>While treatments have come a long way, with many amazing survival and recovery stories coming out, the best form of treatment is prevention! Knowing your family history plays a huge role as having a first degree relative (sister, mother, etc.) who has had breast cancer doubles your likelihood. Almost 10% of all breast cancer cases can be linked to mutated genes inherited from one\u2019s parents. Aging also increases the risk, regardless of inherited genes or not.<\/p>\n<p>One should consult with their doctor on how often to get a mammogram to screen for potential breast cancer. Several sources recommend at least one every two years, to be safe. However, one\u2019s personal family history and medical state may dictate otherwise. Additionally, leading a healthy lifestyle full of nutritious food and physical exercise can help lower the chances of developing breast cancer.<\/p>\n<p>On average, 88% of those diagnosed may survive. However, the years of treatment can still be physically, emotionally, and financially taxing on not only the diagnosed but their loved ones too. If you or someone you know are at risk for breast cancer, be sure to stay up to date on doctor visits and do your best to lead a healthy lifestyle.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, be sure to check out: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalbreastcancer.org\/breast-cancer-awareness-month\/\">https:\/\/www.nationalbreastcancer.org\/breast-cancer-awareness-month\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Photo by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@ang10ze?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Angiola Harry<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/nJv6xnlpNaA?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October is held as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
