October marks Pinktober, a month dedicated to raising awareness about breast cancer and the vital importance of early detection. This initiative not only highlights the challenges faced by those affected by the disease but also emphasizes the significance of regular check-ups.
It is called "Pink October" as people around the world adopt the pink colour and display a pink ribbon to raise awareness about the importance of prevention and routine screening for the early diagnosis of breast cancer, now the second most commonly diagnosed cancer globally.
