Breast Cancer
Every 3 minutes, a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Every 8 minutes, a woman will lose her life.

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in women in the U.S. and the leading cause of death in women between the ages of 40 and 55.

Approximately 450,000 women will lose their lives to breast cancer in the next decade. In 1998, it is estimated that 178,700 new cases of female invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed.

Today, there is a 1 in 8 chance that a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.

The risk of breast cancer increases with age, rising sharply after age 40.

Breast cancer incidence is higher for women who -

Have a family history of breast cancer
Have not had their first child by age 30
Have no borne offspring
Do not exercise regularly
Have been exposed to radiation
Experienced early menarche and late menopause

African Americans have lower rates of breast cancer, but experience higher death rates from the disease at every stage of diagnosis.

If breast cancer is diagnosed at the local stage (the cancer has not spread), the survival rate is 94%.

The Cancer Society recommends that women regularly conduct a breast self-examination beginning at age 20. More than 90% of all breast abnormalities are detected by women themselves.

Women over the age of 40 should have regular mammograms. Women should receive their first mammogram between the age of 35 and 40.
