That very data formed the basis of this year’s Breast Cancer Awareness theme: Rise.
“The past year has posed a challenge to just about everything, and breast cancer prevention is no exception. Although we saw setbacks in screenings and early detection, we’re rising to the challenge together,” the official site reads.
