October is designated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM). NBCAM is dedicated to increasing awareness of breast cancer issues, including the importance of early detection. Comprised of several national public service organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies, the program is on its second decade of sharing information, providing access to screening, and building hope for future generations.
