Breast Health
Breast cancer is the leading cancer site among American women and is second only to lung cancer in cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2005, approximately 211,000 women and 1,690 men in the United States will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. It is also estimated that 40,400 women and 460 men will die from breast cancer in the United States this year. Approximately 77% of breast cancer cases occur in women over 50 years of age.
The key to surviving breast cancer is early detection and treatment. The early detection of breast cancer by having a screening mammogram, helps reduce the need for therapeutic treatment and minimizes pain and suffering, allowing women to continue leading happy, productive lives.
