In an effort to get more women screened for breast cancer, The American Cancer Society urges women to get screened together with its "Grab Your Girls" campaign.
Attacking breast cancer is an individualized approach so having a conversation with a doctor can make all the difference, according to the American Cancer Society.
It's important year round to have the same conversation brought up in October so that women and men can do what they can to lower their risk of getting breast cancer and knowing what to do right away if something feels or seems off.
"It's a very difficult disease to treat," said Dr. Deborah Toppmeyer, chief medical officer at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. "There is a lot of ongoing research in this subtype of breast cancer, trying to find weapons that can be effective."
