According to the Singapore Cancer Registry Annual Report 2023, breast cancer remains the most common cancer diagnosed in females, with more than 13,000 cases reported in the period 2019 – 2023. 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 'Breast Health Matters - Every Woman, Every Age', we aim to empower women to take action today by:
(a) increasing public awareness of breast cancer and healthy lifestyle changes; and
(b) motivating women to undergo mammogram screening.
Collectively, the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month (NBCAM) 2026 Organising Committee has planned a great line-up of public events this September and October. Check them out below, register and save the dates!
