The Truth About Breast Cancer Prevention

Welcome to Know Breast Cancer, a national breast cancer prevention project aimed at educating women about real breast cancer prevention.

Although there is a huge movement around breast cancer awareness, little is said about how women can prevent or stop breast cancer before it starts. The fact is, only 10% of all breast cancer is caused by genetics, which means that 90% of all breast cancer is preventable.

Breast Cancer is Big Business

The United States has the highest breast cancer rate in the world. While the incidence of breast cancer is increasing, the focus is on costly mammograms, surgery, radiation and chemotherapy to detect and treat cancer. At the same time, new studies become available every day that show how breast cancer is preventable with lifestyle changes. But since there is little money to be made in prevention, these developments often go unnoticed.
