According to the Susan G. Komen Northeast Ohio 2015 Community Profile, it reports “The state of Ohio ranks 4th in the nation in breast cancer mortality, with a rate of 24.8 per 100,000 individuals; Northeast Ohio’s mortality rate matches the state rate of 24.8, but both the state and local rates are higher than the national average of 22.6.”
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is in October. It’s important for all women — and men — to know the risk factors and warning signs of breast cancer to help identify issues early. Susan G. Komen Northeast Ohio chapter has resources to help women find information about self-exams, mammograms and other local support help.
