Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American women other
than skin cancer. The American Cancer Society says the breast cancer death rate
is
declining. This is likely because breast cancer is found earlier through routine
screening and treatment keeps getting better. Getting routine screen test and being
aware of breast cancer symptoms are the key to finding it early,– when it’s small
and
easier to treat.
