At the Women's Cancer Resource Center we provide direct support to patients and survivors of all cancer types, but in our latest program year we saw individuals with a breast cancer diagnosis almost 10 times more frequently than any other cancer diagnosis.

Unfortunately, those numbers are not surprising when considering...

- Over 300,000 people are estimated to be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. That's a new diagnosis every 2 minutes.

- The rate of breast cancer incidence has been growing steadily since the 1940s — from a 1 in 20 chance of receiving a diagnosis in your lifetime to a 1 in 8 chance today.

- Despite some established scientific correlations, the definitive risks and factors that cause breast cancer to form are still largely unknown.

During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we are beyond grateful to partner with area businesses and organizations through our All-in for Women with Cancer campaign! These partners are going above and beyond to support Women’s Cancer Resource Center's free programs and resources for East Bay cancer patients and survivors.
