Breast cancer is a disease in which malignant(cancer) cells form in the tissues of the breast. The disease's characteristics and effects are different between individuals, age groups, and even the kinds of cells within the tumors themselves.
Each year it is estimated that nearly 200,000 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die. Approximately 1,700 men will also be diagnosed with breast cancer and 450 will die each year. The evaluation of men with breast masses is similar to that in women, including mammography.

Women in the United States get breast cancer more than any other type of cancer except for skin cancer. It is second only to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in women.
The best way to fight breast cancer is to have a plan that helps you detect the disease in its early stages. According to the National Cancer Institute when breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the 5-year survival rate is 98%.
