Regular screenings key in the fight against breast cancer

This year in Colorado, the American Cancer Society estimates 4,180 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and 610 will die from the disease. The good news is, awareness about early screening is working. According to a recent report from the ACS, death rates for breast cancer in the US dropped 40% between 1989 and 2017. This means 375,900 deaths were avoided during that time.
