Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022

Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2022

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Singaporean women in the last 50 years and the leading cause of cancer deaths among women. According to the Singapore Cancer Registry, breast cancer remains the most common cancer diagnosed in females, and the leading cause of cancer death in women in Singapore*.

Every October marks the Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), a national campaign to raise awareness for this cause. We want to encourage all women to go for your regular mammogram screening as it can help detect breast cancer early and save your life.

Find out more about breast cancer at our various activities and take charge of your health today! Click here for a calendar of our breast cancer activities this year.
