Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025

Synonym(s):

According to the Singapore Cancer Registry Annual Report 2022, breast cancer remains the most common cancer diagnosed in females, with more than 13,000 cases reported in the period 2018 – 2022. It is also the leading cause of cancer death in women in Singapore.

Every October marks the Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM), a national campaign to raise awareness for this cause. This year, with the theme 'Act Now, Live Strong', we aim to empower women to take action today for a stronger tomorrow by:

(a) increasing public awareness of breast cancer and healthy lifestyle changes;

(b) motivating women to undergo mammogram screening; and

(c) celebrating breast cancer patients and survivors.

SingHealth and our partners on the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2025 Organising Committee has planned a great line-up of public events this October. Check them out below, register and save the dates in your calendar!

Beat Breast Cancer: Early Detection Saves Lives

“If I feel fine, do I really need a mammogram?”

Yes! Most early-stage breast cancers don’t show any symptoms, so screening is the best way to catch it early when treatment works best. Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women here, especially those aged 40 and older. Early detection can lead to simpler treatment, and more precious time with your loved ones. 

Don’t wait. Join our healthcare experts to learn the signs, understand your risks, and where to get screened — because early detection can save your life.
