Latino Community Shows Support For Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and Latinos are turning out to educate their public about early detection. Cancer is the leading cause of death among Hispanics, overtaking even heart disease. And for Latinas, breast cancer is the number one killer due to infrequent mammograms and doctor visits. A new study by the American Cancer Society claims that more than 33,000 Hispanics will die of cancer this year and over 100,000 more will be diagnosed.
MTV Tr3s host Adamari Lopez successfully battled breast cancer seven years ago and is now living a happy and healthy life. Adamari is also joining the “Save Lids To Save Lives” campaign with Yoplait who specifically target the Hispanic community and tour across eight U.S. cities to help spread the word about early detection. “I’m delighted to team up with Yoplait to help Latina women understand the importance of their breast health and inspire others to join the fight against the disease,” she recently said. “My successful struggle with breast cancer is a testament to the fact that early detection can and does save lives, and that we are all in this together.”
