The most common malignancy in women is breast cancer, and it is the second
major cause of cancer death. Breast cancer has been accelerating for over 40
years . In 1960 one out of twenty women would develop breast cancer, now it is
one out of seven. Among all other female cancers put together breast cancer is
three times more frequent.
According to the American Cancer Society over 200,000 new cases of breast
cancer will be identified this year, and over 40,000 of these people will die. Men
are also affected, for every 100 women diagnosed, one man will acquire this
disease. There are various early signs of possible malignancy, a single, firm,
and usually painless lump; a part of the skin on the breast or underarm swells
and looks odd; veins become more prominent on the skin of one breast; the
nipple may become inverted, get a rash, change skin texture, or have an odd
discharge; or a depression may be found in an area of the breast surface.
seventy percent of all breast cancers are found through self exams. Not all
lumps can be felt, mammograms are highly advisable. A mammogram can find
breast cancer about two years before it is big enough to be felt. When breast
cancer is discovered early, the five year survival rate is over 95%.
Breast cancer is attacking women in epidemic proportions, and we dont know
why. Every two minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. This
horrible disease behaves differently in each individual. Research is a need we
must all help with. New drugs and therapies are being discovered as you read
this. But, only through our help and caring can we combat and, just maybe,
eliminate this affliction.
