It's Breast Cancer Awareness Month! 

Breast cancer remains the most common cancer among Australian women (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer). Survival rates continue to improve in Australia with 89 out of every 100 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer now surviving five or more years beyond diagnosis.

Take the time in October to find out what you need to know about breast awareness and share this important information with your family, friends and colleagues.

For BreastScreen WA, Breast Cancer Awareness Month means promoting our free screening service to the WA community as much as we can. Early detection saves lives, and the best method of early detection is screening mammograms. If you would like to help us spread awareness for this important service, go to Resources and Support.
