Although rare, men can get breast cancer, too. According to the CDC, about 1 in every 100 breast cancer diagnoses in the United States occurs in men.

Several factors can increase a man's risk, including older age, family history of breast cancer, genetic mutations, liver disease, and obesity.

Know your risk! Talk with your healthcare provider about your family history of cancer and any concerns you may have. Early awareness matters, and breast cancer can affect men, too.

🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 🎀

💗 Early Detection Matters!

According to the FDA, mammograms are the primary screening tool for detecting breast cancer. They can help find cancer at an early stage, when it may be easier to treat. While screening cannot prevent breast cancer, early detection can save lives.

💁‍♀️When Should You Get a Mammogram?

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that women ages 40–74 who are at average risk for breast cancer get a mammogram every two years.

💗 Take Charge of Your Breast Health!

Talk with your healthcare provider about which breast cancer screening tests are right for you and when you should have them.

📅 Don't wait—schedule your mammogram today and make sure you're up to date on your screening!

Early detection can make a difference. Share this reminder with someone you love! 💕
