Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the United States, except for skin cancers. It is about 30% (or 1 in 3) of all new female cancers each year.
The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in the United States for 2022 are:
About 287,850 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
About 51,400 new cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) will be diagnosed.
About 43,250 women will die from breast cancer.
We envision a future where our children no longer live with the threat of breast cancer and where everyone has a fair and just opportunity to prevent, find, treat, and survive this disease. By supporting the Making Strides movement, you help ensure the American Cancer Society can continue fighting for that same vision. Together, we can help fund the future of breast cancer research and programs for our loved ones today – and for the next generation.
Join our team and support by donating or walking with us on October 29th. We will be hosting our Pink Party Brunch immediately following the walk.
