Facts About Breast Cancer In The United States

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.
This year an estimated 310,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women.
Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 440 will die each year.
On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes.
With early diagnosis, localized breast cancer has a 99% 5-year survival rate

Get Screened!

Schedule a Mammogram at the WellSpan Center for Breast Health. Mammography screening remains the best available method to detect breast cancer early. However, no medical test is always 100 percent accurate, and mammography is no exception. Research is under way to improve the technology to lead to better accuracy and to create new technologies. It is important for women to practice the elements of good breast health. It is suggested women:

Obtain regular mammography screening starting at the age of 40
Obtain annual clinical breast exams
Perform monthly breast-self exams
Obtain a risk assessment from a physician
