Finely tuned diagnoses and targeted drugs create optimism about surviving breast cancer - US News and World Report
The crowd applauded wildly and wouldn't be quieted. The overflow audience in the Orlando hall was clearly grateful for what it had just heard. One person described it as "mind boggling," another as "jaw dropping," and several said they were on the verge of tears. "It was a Rolling Stones concert in terms of crowd response," says George Sledge, who was onstage. "Truth to tell, I had a hard time keeping my composure at the end.

Breast Cancer
Description Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from cells in the breast. It is the most common cancer among women, other than skin cancer, and it is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Symptoms of breast cancer include a lump or mass, swelling, skin irritation or dimpling, nipple pain or retraction, redness or scaliness of the nipple or breast skin, or discharge (other than breast milk). Statistics In 2004, an estimated 215,990 new cases of invasive breast cancer are anticipated among women in the United States; about 1,450 in men. An additional 59,390 new cases of in situbreast cancer are expected during that period – about 85 percent of which are ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). About two million women in the U.S. are living with diagnosed breast cancer. Incidence rates have risen consistently since 1980, though at a slower rate in the 1990s, compared to the 1980s, and only in women age 50 and over since 1986. White women are more likely to develop breast cancer than black women, but more black women than white die from the disease. There is a racial discrepancy in the five-year survival rate for women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, as well: 88 percent for whites versus 74 percent for blacks. Overall, breast cancer claims the lives of about 40,110 women each year, along with more than 400 men. Mortality rates have declined a little more than two percent per year between 1990 and 2000, with more..

The Coalition on Abortion / Breast Cancer
As of 2006, eight medical organizations recognize that abortion raises a woman's risk for breast cancer, independently of the risk of delaying the birth of a first child (a secondary effect that all experts already acknowledge).
