Breast Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment

Every year in the United States, close to 250,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer. They are women of all ages and all types; young women, older women, wives, mothers, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends and loved ones. While the types of breast cancers vary almost as much as the women who are diagnosed with them, more is known about breast cancer than ever before.
