Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States. The National Cancer Institute estimates that 192,370 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009. Breast cancer can also occur in men—an estimated 1,910 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year.
Breast Cancer Screening Guidelines have been developed to detect breast cancer at the earliest, most treatable stage. Below are resources to learn more about the risk factors, symptoms, and early detection methods of breast cancer. For those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer, we have provided treatment and coping information.
