World Wide Motion Picture Corporation Releases Film, The Lovely Patient, on DVD and VOD.
Huntington Station, NY (PRWEB) February 25, 2015 -- The United Breast Cancer Foundation is pleased to announce support for the release of World Wide Motion Picture Corporation's feature film, The Lovely Patient. A portion of the proceeds from screenings and film sales will benefit UBCF. The film, now available on DVD and VOD, helps increase awareness of the often overlooked disease Male Breast Cancer.
UBCF Executive Director, Stephanie Mastraoinni, says “The interesting (and sometimes quirky) characters discover the importance of family and community in dealing with Male Breast Cancer. This is the message UBCF has been advancing for many years through our patient and family support programs.”
The United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF) serves women, men and families affected by breast cancer. In 2014, according to the National Cancer Institute 2,360 men were diagnosed with breast cancer and 430 died.
According to Ms. Mastraoinni, “One reason for the high mortality rate for men is they’re not encouraged by health professionals to be screened or to self-examine their breast tissue. UBCF encourages all men to learn the self-breast exam and to be routinely screened by a doctor. UBCF is determined to spread awareness that a breast cancer diagnosis is possible for men as well as women.”
UBCF’s mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by breast cancer. That’s being carried out every day through life-supporting patient and family programs, which are open to women, men and families across the country. UBCF services anyone, regardless of age, race, gender, ethnicity, income or medical insurance coverage. If you’re a woman (or man!) in need of a breast screening or other breast health services, please visit UBCF at http://www.ubcf.info or call toll-free, 877-822-4287.
