Pink Ties for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

This pink tie wearing guy encourages all of you men out there to join him in wearing pink ties this month to remind the women in our lives, even though we are in the midst of a pandemic, to continue with their cancer screenings.

“Finding breast cancer early and getting high-quality cancer treatment are the most important strategies to prevent deaths from breast cancer. Getting regular screening tests is a critically important part of finding breast cancer early,” said Dr. Laura Makaroff, Senior Vice President, Prevention and Early Detection for the American Cancer Society. “Breast cancer screening disparities are already evident and without focused attention, are likely to increase as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Efforts to promote breast cancer screening and overcome barriers for populations with low screening prevalence must be at the forefront of our focus,” said Makaroff.
