October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. While the nation is rightfully focussed on finding treatments and a vaccine for COVID-19, it is still important to remember that more than 40,000 of our friends, neighbors, and family members will die of Breast Cancer in the United States this year.

Cancer is one of the oldest diseases ever described in medicine. In fact, it is referenced in ancient Egyptian manuscripts that are more than 3,500 years old. For almost all of those years, treatment consisted primarily of prayer and faith rather than medicine and science. Over the past 150 years, however, incredible progress has been made. Beginning with surgical interventions pioneered by American Surgeon Willam Stewart Halsted in the mid-1890s, Breast Cancer patients began to see their prognoses improve on an almost yearly basis.
With the introduction of chemotherapy, mortality rates have declined steadily over the past five decades. We still, unfortunately, have a way to go. According to Science Daily, about 270,000 U.S. women were diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2019 with about 41,000 dying from the disease. Today, Oncologists are beginning to focus on “personalized cancer medicine.” They use information about a patient’s genes, proteins, and environment to diagnose and treat that patient.
Breast cancer has gone from being an incurable condition to something that is understood, treatable, and in many cases curable. The progress made over the past 150 years is truly one of mankind’s greatest achievements. The cumulative contributions of so many doctors and scientists over that time will be continued on into the future.
We can envision a day where a breast cancer diagnosis is no longer something to fear. Until then, let’s all remember that we are in this together.
