BREAST CANCER IS THE MOST COMMON FORM OF CANCER AMONG AMERICAN WOMEN. MORE THAN A HUNDRED-EIGHTY THOUSAND WOMEN WILL BE DIAGNOSED WITH THE DISEASE THIS YEAR, AND MORE THAN FORTY THOUSAND WILL DIE FROM IT. FORTUNATELY, ACCORDING TO THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY, WHEN THE CANCER IS CONFINED TO THE BREAST, THE FIVE-YEAR SURVIVAL RATE IS CLOSE TO A HUNDRED PERCENT.
