What Is Breast Cancer?
"Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that has developed from cells of the breast. A malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may invade surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the second leading cause of cancer death (exceeded by lung cancer in 1985). The incidence of breast cancer is very low in the twenties and gradually increases and plateaus at the age of forty-five and increases dramatically after fifty. Fifty percent of breast cancer is diagnosed in women over sixty-five indicating the ongoing necessity of yearly screening throughout a woman’s life. The disease occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get it, too. For every 100 women with breast cancer, 1 male will develop the disease. "
