This October, join KSAB-FM to help raise awareness of breast cancer, its causes, diagnosis, and treatment. Whether you know someone who's been affected by breast cancer, or are just curious to know more about the disease, this page is filled with information, inspirational stories, and links to lend a hand or dollar in efforts to find the cure.

The American Cancer Society is the leader in the fight to end breast cancer:
- We invest more in breast cancer research than any other cancer type - to find, prevent, treat, and cure the disease.
- We're in every community providing free information and services to people fighting the disease. Today, one in every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer turns to us for help and support.
- We have helped more than 4 million women get potentially lifesaving breast cancer screening tests.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
The chance of a woman having invasive breast cancer some time during her life is a little less 1 in 8. The chance of dying from breast cancer is about 1 in 36. Breast cancer death rates have been going down. This is probably the result of finding the cancer earlier and better treatment. Right now there are more than 2½ million breast cancer survivors in the United States.
