Diagnostic Expertise and Innovations
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer among women in the United States. It is second only to lung cancer in cancer-related deaths. More than 180,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. More than 43,000 women may die from the disease. In the United States, one out of nine women will develop breast cancer during her lifetime.
Early Diagnosis Is Key to Successful Treatment
The encouraging news is that breast cancer is being detected earlier, while the tumor is very small. The majority of new breast cancers show no signs that the cancer has spread beyond the breast. With prompt treatment, the outlook for women with breast cancer is good. When cancer is detected early, treatment can not only save your life but also your breast.
