October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Philly Fights Cancer is proud to raise funding for clinical trials and research that are improving the treatment and care of those diagnosed with cancers of all kinds, including breast cancer, at the Abramson Cancer Center and beyond.

Penn’s Abramson Cancer Center offers a comprehensive breast cancer program from screenings to survivorship. Nationally recognized specialty physicians and surgeons provide education, care and support needed to help patients navigate their diagnosis and treatment plan. As part of this plan, Penn Medicine also provides patients with access to new clinical trials in breast cancer. To learn more about these vitally important clinical trials, visit the link in our bio.

As part of efforts to eliminate disparities in cancer detection, Penn Medicine will offer free breast cancer screenings to women over the age of 40 in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month this October.

Screenings will be available on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 18 to Oct. 29, Penn Medicine News reported. For the full story, visit here: https://www.thedp.com/article/2021/10/penn-medicine-offers-free-breast-cancer-screenings-in-honor-of-breast-cancer-awareness-month
