“Key Statistics & Facts About Breast Cancer In The United States:

• Breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women, except for skin cancers.¹
• It is estimated that in 2024, approximately 30% of all new female cancer diagnoses will be breast cancer.¹
• On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer in the United States.¹
• Approximately 66% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, before cancer has spread outside of the breast, when it is easiest to treat.³
• The 5-year relative survival rate for cancer diagnosed at the localized stage is 99%.¹
• Approximately 15% of women diagnosed have a family history of breast cancer. Those with a first-degree relative (mother, sister, daughter) with breast cancer are nearly twice as likely to develop breast cancer themselves.⁴“
