AI Summary
This resolution proclaims October 2025 and October 2026 as Breast Cancer Awareness Months, drawing attention to critical breast cancer statistics and the importance of early detection. According to the National Cancer Institute, an estimated 316,950 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2025, representing over 15 percent of new cancer cases, with 42,170 women expected to die from the disease. The resolution highlights that breast cancer primarily affects middle-aged and older women, with a median diagnosis age of 63, but also notes that men can develop the disease, with approximately 2,800 men expected to be diagnosed in 2025. Specifically for Wisconsin, the state's breast cancer incidence rate of 137 cases per 100,000 individuals is higher than the national average of 129.8 cases. The resolution emphasizes the American Cancer Society's screening recommendations, which suggest annual mammograms for women aged 45-54 and biennial screenings for women over 55. By drawing attention to these statistics and screening guidelines, the resolution aims to raise public awareness about breast cancer, promote early detection, and underscore the potential for improved survival rates through timely diagnosis and treatment.
