The Breast Cancer Site
The breast cancer foundation estimates the every year over 200,000 women are going to be diagnosed with breast cancer. There are over 40,000 women each year that will die of the disease. One woman in every eight will have or has already been diagnosed with breast cancer during her lifetime. Another surprise is that approximately 1,700 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancers and of that number some 450 will die from the disease each year.
If the disease is detected early enough then the five year survival rate of the incidences of known breast cancers exceeds over 96%. The very best known way of early detection of breast cancer is of course with a mammogram. Surprising as it may seem, 13 million US women who are over the age of 40 years of age have never had a mammogram at all.
The National Cancer Institute and the United States Department of Health and Human Services has a recommendation that women who are in their forties or who are older have a mammogram at least every one or two years. If you have a complete plan for early detection of breast cancer, it should always include regular breast examinations by a trained medical professional such as a family doctor. In addition, monthly breast self examinations are highly recommended in addition.
