What Is Breast Cancer and What Are Its Risk Factors?
You've probably heard about breast cancer, and you may even know someone who's faced it. It's a common disease that affects many people and families. Finding it early is important because breast cancer can become life-threatening, especially when it's not treated in time.
Breast cancer develops when abnormal cells grow out of control in breast tissue and form a tumor. It's the most common cancer among women worldwide. In the United States, about one in eight women will develop breast cancer during their lifetime.
Some women have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than others. Risk factors include being over 50, having a mother, sister, or daughter who's had breast cancer, and being overweight. Other factors include never having children, having your first child after age 35, or starting your period before age 12. Heavy alcohol use and certain types of hormonal birth control may also affect your risk.
What There Is to Know About Breast Cancer in Maryland
Breast cancer affects many women and families throughout Maryland. The state has faced high rates of the disease compared with many other parts of the country. It's also one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths among women in Maryland. Each year, thousands of women in the state receive a breast cancer diagnosis, and many families lose loved ones to the disease.
These numbers remind us how many people in our communities are affected by breast cancer. They also show why continued support matters. By helping fund breast cancer programs, you can make a difference for patients and families who need care and resources.
How You Can Make an Impact in Hanover with Your Donated Car
Hanover sits between Baltimore and Washington, giving residents access to several major medical centers. Even with these resources nearby, breast cancer treatment can be hard on patients and their families. Getting to appointments, keeping up with household needs, and missing work can all add stress. People in Arundel Preserve, Harmans, nearby Severn, and communities around Arundel Mills can help by donating unwanted vehicles. These donations support programs that provide breast cancer care and patient resources.
You can also look for ways to help through the Tate Cancer Center at UM Baltimore Washington Medical Center or Luminis Health Anne Arundel Medical Center. These medical centers may offer opportunities to volunteer, raise money, or take part in cancer awareness events. You might organize a fundraiser, help someone get through treatment, or join a local outreach program. Your support can remind breast cancer patients in the Hanover area that people in their community care about them.
How You Can Help Breast Cancer Patients
At Breast Cancer Car Donations, we work with nonprofit organizations that focus on breast health and patient support. These organizations help people who need breast cancer services, including those without health insurance or enough money to cover treatment. Through our Maryland car donation program, we raise funds to help these nonprofits continue their work. Their programs serve people who need breast health care, regardless of gender, age, background, education, or income.
The services they provide include:
- Lower costs for mammograms and breast ultrasounds.
- Free kits for newly diagnosed patients, with information about breast cancer, treatment choices, financial help, counseling, and survivor support groups. These kits may also include videos from other patients and information about finding wigs, prostheses, bras, and lymphedema garments.
- Nurse navigators who help patients find suitable medical facilities and care providers.
- Financial help with chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, doctor visits, and lab tests.
- Follow-up care for five years after remission, including lab tests, yearly mammograms, and doctor visits.
