October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer among American women. Breast cancer is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women. White women are diagnosed with the disease more often than African American women, but African American women are more likely to die from it. If detected early through screening and early diagnosis, breast cancer can be treated successfully. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Nancy Demore of the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) about breast cancer on today's edition of Insight at 10 a.m., 7 p.m. and midnight.

South Carolina ranks 14th nationally in both cervical cancer incidence and mortality. Three African American women die from cervical cancer for every white woman who does, though the disease is almost entirely preventable through timely screening, according to Dr. Jennifer Young Pierce of the South Carolina Cervical Cancer-Free Coalition. Bhakti Larry Hough interviews Dr. Pierce in observance of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month during the current edition of Insight.

This edition of Insight airs today, 1/22, and again on Monday, 1/27, at 10:00 AM, 7:00 PM and midnight.
