October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Let's make a difference!
In
October, when you make a purchase on ID Security Online, you help us make a
difference. At the end of the month, we will donate 1% of our Photo ID Systems sales to the
Susan G. Komen for the Cure®.
Since
1982, Komen has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight
against breast cancer – transforming how the world talks about and treats this
disease and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast
cancer survivors. We are proud of our contribution to some real victories:
- More early detection and
effective treatment–
Currently, about 70 percent of women 40 and older receive regular mammograms,
the single most effective screening tool to find breast cancer early. Since 1990, early detection and effective
treatment have resulted in a 33 percent decline in breast cancer mortality in
the U.S.
- More hope – In 1980, the 5-year relative
survival rate for women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer (cancer
confined to the breast) was about 74 percent. Today, that number is 98 percent.
- More research – The federal government now
devotes more than $850 million each year to breast cancer research, treatment
and prevention (compared to $30 million in 1982).
- More survivors – Currently, there are about 3
million breast cancers survivors, the largest group of cancer survivors in the
U.S.
