The National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) has been running for more than 20 years. It takes place every October. The key message is to let women know about the importance of early detection through yearly mammography for women over 40 or those who are at increased risk. Breast cancer awareness has played an important role in increasing the survival rate of women who have had breast cancer.
