October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which makes this a good time to learn about breast cancer types and what your type means.
Breast cancer accounts for 1 in 3 of all new cancers diagnosed in women in the U.S. each year, according to the American Cancer Society. It's estimated that more than 43,00 women in the U.S. will die from breast cancer this year. After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the U.S.
Not all breast cancers are the same, though. And it's important to understand what type of breast cancer you have and how it differs from other types of breast cancer.
