Every October, the world is awash with pink ribbons, as communities come together to observe Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While many may simply recognise it as a time for pink-themed products and charity events, October holds a much deeper significance. It highlights the global impact of breast cancer, affecting 2.3 million women annually. Men are also at risk, though often overlooked. Breast Cancer Awareness Month encourages early detection, screening, and education, aiming to save lives and improve outcomes.

The importance of regular screening
Early detection is key. Mammograms are the gold standard for women, recommended from age 40 or earlier if there’s a family history. Self-exams can also help identify changes, while men should be aware of their own risk and seek advice if they notice unusual changes.
Advise your clients to:
- Get screened
- Know the signs
- Share the message
- Access support with the Oncology Management Programme
- Prioritise a healthy lifestyle.
