Breast Cancer Research

The National Cancer Institute defines breast cancer as cancer that appears in breast tissues, mammary ducts and glands that are involved in producing milk (lobules). The condition occurs in both genders but its occurrence is more pronounced in women than in men. Breast cancer research points out that 1 in every 8 women will be diagnosed with the condition at some point in her lifetime. More than 200,000 new cases of breast cancer in women are reported annually in the United States, and almost 2,000 cases of breast cancer in men. Almost 40,000 women and 400 men succumb to the condition each year. Breast cancer research collects, analyses and presents statistics such as these and others.

Breast cancer research focuses on investigations and treatments for breast cancer. It gathers information on risk factors, genetics and prevention and researchers study the role of reproductive behavior, diet, environment and lifestyle. Breast cancer research presents the latest information about breast cancer screening and testing methods, including advances in imaging technologies, biopsy procedures and tumor markers.

Breast cancer research makes available a plethora of resources and cancer literature related to breast cancer that can be used by medical professionals, patients, their families and friends. Breast cancer related topics such as DCIS, tomoxifen, triple negative, herceptin, arimidex, mastectomy, reconstruction, recurrence and HER2 are presented and detailed, together with numbers and accompanying photographs from around the world.
