SUMMARY: Breast Cancer Awareness Month takes place in October, with breast cancer being predominantly found in women. Early signs of breast cancer include new lumps or masses, breast pain, nipple discharge, and skin dimpling. The American Cancer Society recommends women over 40 to consider getting mammograms, which are X-rays used to detect breast cancer. Self-examinations are also recommended, which should be done four to seven days after the start of the menstrual period. Risk factors for breast cancer include alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, not having children or breastfeeding, taking birth control, and menopausal hormone therapy. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, biological therapy, and radiation therapy.
