Kate Jackson, Melissa Etheridge, Edie Falco, Suzanne Somers, Jaclyn Smith, Olivia Newton John, Shirley Temple, and Anastacia. They are only the very few who have survived the fearful clench of the wicked claws of breast cancer among millions of women world-wide. In America, an average of 180,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. The same report indicated an increase in breast cancer incidence among Asian and Pacific Islander women.

In the United Kingdom, the survival rate for breast cancer cases is also on the rise. From 52 percent survival rate among diagnosed cases from 1971 to 1975, the relative five-year survival rate improved to 80 percent from 2001 to 2003. The Cancer Research

UK also reported an increase for relative twenty-year survival rate from 44 percent in the early 90s to 64 percent for the most recent period.

look.
