Facts About Breast Cancer

Real breast cancer statistics

Breast cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths among women ages 40 - 55. With mammograms being such a crucial tool in diagnosing breast cancer, the breast cancer site is providing a huge service to women and will potentially be saving hundreds if not thousands of lives. 211,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year. With that kind of number, it would not be surprising if everyone either knew a women with breast cancer or were diagnosed themselves with the disease at some point in their lifetime. With 13 million women over the age of 40 that have never had a mammogram, the disease is sure to become more widespread. This is why it is so important for us to support The Breast Cancer Site and its "click to donate" program.
