breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer in women. Non-melanoma skin cancer is the leading form of cancer among women. In 2006, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 40,820 women died from breast cancer. That same year, 191,410 women were diagnosed with breast cancer. Among Hispanic women, breast cancer is the No. 1 cause of cancer death, while it is the second most common cause of cancer death among White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, and American Indian/Alaska Native women. Overall, the incidence of breast cancer in women in the United States is 1 in 8, or 12.5 percent. Still, roughly 2.5 million women in the U.S. have survived breast cancer. In addition, though it’s highly uncommon, breast cancer is not exclusive to women. Though less than 1 percent of all new breast cancer cases occur in men, estimates suggest roughly 2,000 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year.
