In 2020, female breast cancer surpassed lung cancer as the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide. Despite this, the death rate from breast cancer dropped by 41 percent from 1989 to 2018 as a result of earlier detection through increased awareness and mammography screening, as well as advances in treatments. Today, we celebrate the more than 3.8 million breast cancer survivors in the U.S. including those who completed treatment and those still undergoing treatment.

Local leaders in Utica are stepping up and supporting the Real Men Wear Pink campaign. The campaign is designed to engage more male community leaders and influencers in the Society’s mission to eliminate breast cancer. Community leaders around the nation use the power of wearing pink to draw attention to the cause, events, and social media to raise awareness and funds for the American Cancer Society’s breast cancer initiatives.
