Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and both women and men can take it. Breast cancer is the name given to cancers that have first developed in breast tissue.

In men, breast cancer is very rare. There are about 350 men diagnosed each year in the UK, compared with around 50,000 cases of breast cancer in women. Much of the information that men with breast cancer need is the same as for women. The symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are all very similar to women with breast cancer.

Action Cancer is the only charity in the UK and Ireland to offer breast screening to women aged 40 – 49 and 70 plus who fall outside the NHS age range (50 – 70).  Action Cancer’s mobile resource centre, the Big Bus, is sponsored by Supervalu and its independent retailers.
