October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Ascension Health is using the month to clear up some common misconceptions about the disease.
According to a press release, about one in eight women in the U.S.
will develop breast cancer during their lifetime.
Ascension says while the risk increases with age, about 10% of diagnosis involve women younger than 45, and having no family history does not mean someone cannot develop breast cancer.
Most people diagnosed do not have a close relative with the disease.
Cancer also does not always cause a noticeable lump.
Some cases have no noticeable symptoms and are detected through a mammogram.
Ascension Health says early detection is key and recommends women at average risk get a mammogram every year beginning at age 40 and talking with their provider about any changes they notice.
