October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Warning signs include lumps in the breast or underarm, swelling, red or flaky skin, pain or soreness, and changes in the size of the breast. Most breast cancers occur in women 50 years of age or older.

Talking with a primary care doctor and scheduling mammogram screenings every one to two years starting at the age of 40 can help reduce breast cancer mortality in women who are at risk.

Visit the CDC website to learn more.
