PA SR104

Designates May 2025 as "National Mammography Month" in Pennsylvania to promote breast cancer screening awareness

Highlights that screening mammograms reduce breast cancer death by 22%, with one study showing nearly 50% reduction in mortality risk

Notes that an estimated 1 in 4 women ages 50-74 has not received a mammogram in the past two years, and cost barriers make women twice as likely to skip follow-up screenings

Cites American Cancer Society estimates of 316,950 new invasive breast cancer cases in women and 2,800 cases in men for 2025

Encourages Pennsylvania residents, particularly those in high-risk groups including Black and Jewish women, to schedule mammography appointments
