The Most Common Female Cancers
According to the American Cancer Society, the types of cancers that most often affect women include breast cancer, colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer, lung cancer, cervical cancer, skin cancer, and ovarian cancer. Knowing about the most common female cancers — including what you can do to help prevent them or discover them in early stages while they’re still treatable — may help save a life. Equip yourself and the women you know with the important education available on female-related cancer and support.
“The next generation really relies on us to participate in these crowd-based models if we’re ever going to move away from 1 in 8 women getting breast cancer. Whatever is possible to be prevented should be prevented. But prevention isn’t going to happen only using the technologies that we’ve been using in the past.”
- Dr. Brigitte Piniewski
