When breast cancer occurs in women under the age of 45, it is often detected at later stages, is more likely to be aggressive and may be less responsive to traditional therapies.
Despite these facts, there is a lack of awareness about the risks and unique challenges facing young women with breast cancer. A new bill introduced in Congress would change that.
The Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young (EARLY) Act would address these life threatening issues and help to improve cancer survival rates.
Although diagnosing breast cancer in young women can be more difficult, when it is detected early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent! Urge your senators to support the EARLY Act and end the suffering and death caused by cancer.
