Mayo Clinic | Mayo Clinic Minute - The importance of breast cancer screening @MayoClinic | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in women across the U.S. And rates of the disease continue to climb, notably among younger women. A recent report from the American Cancer Society calculates that 1 in 50 women will develop invasive breast cancer by the age of 50.

Early detection through screening can lead to more treatable and curable breast cancers. In this Mayo Clinic Minute, Dr. Elizabeth Cathcart-Rake clears up confusion about who should be screened and when.
