Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK, with 1 in 7 women expected to be diagnosed during their lifetime and around 1% of cases occurring in men. This October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which is a vital time to raise awareness, take action, and prioritise early detection.
In recognition of this campaign, Consultant Breast Cancer Surgeon Joanna Franks will draw on her extensive clinical experience to guide you on recognising early warning signs and symptoms, supported by effective breast self-checks. Miss Franks will also highlight the importance of early detection and timely referral for ongoing medical assessment and treatment.
With around 30% of breast cancer cases being preventable through healthy habits and early action - this is your chance to be part of the change that saves lives, for both yourself and others.
