Breast Cancer Awareness

We’re on a mission to make cancer more detectable.

Women are diagnosed with breast cancer globally in 2020.

Women die of invasive breast cancer globally every year.

Early Detection Saves Lives

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and deadly forms of cancer worldwide. Its impact is felt by individuals, families, and communities across the globe. Understanding the current statistics surrounding breast cancer and the critical importance of early detection is crucial in the ongoing fight against this devastating disease.

Treatments are more successful and survival rates improve with early detection.

The Importance of Early Detection

Early detection is a powerful weapon in the battle against breast cancer. When breast cancer is detected in its early stages, the chances of successful treatment and survival dramatically increase. Regular breast self-exams, clinical breast exams, and mammograms play pivotal roles in identifying potential issues early on.

Increased Survival Rates

Early detection often leads to less aggressive treatment options, which can result in better outcomes for patients. The five-year survival rate for localized breast cancer is around 99%, compared to 27% for advanced-stage breast cancer.

Improved Quality of Life

Early-stage breast cancer treatments are typically less invasive, allowing patients to maintain a higher quality of life during and after treatment.

Reduced Healthcare Costs

Detecting breast cancer at an early stage can also help reduce the economic burden on individuals and healthcare systems. The cost of treating advanced-stage breast cancer is significantly higher than treating it in its early stages.

Peace of Mind

Regular breast cancer screenings provide peace of mind for individuals, helping them catch potential issues before they become serious.

Breast Cancer Global Awareness

Governments, healthcare organizations, and non-profits around the world are working tirelessly to raise awareness about breast cancer and the importance of early detection. October is recognized as Breast Cancer Awareness Month, during which various campaigns are organized to educate people about the disease and promote screenings.

The global statistics on breast cancer highlight the urgent need for continued efforts in prevention and early detection. Early detection not only saves lives but also contributes to improved quality of life for those affected by this disease. As individuals, we can play our part by staying informed, conducting regular self-exams, and encouraging our loved ones to do the same. Together, we can make progress in the fight against breast cancer and bring hope to millions of people around the world.

Imagion's initiatives using MagSense^® nanoparticles for medical imaging.

MagSense^® technology does not use ionizing radiation, radioactive tracers, or strong magnetic fields. And unlike existing imaging methods that can only identify a “region of interest” and can not differentiate benign tumors from malignant cancer, MagSense nanoparticles are designed to be detectable in a unique and differentiated image contrast when used with MRI.
