The American Cancer So
ciety has invested more than
$418.7 million in breast can
cer research grants since
1971. It has been an impor
tant part of nearly every
major breast cancer research
breakthrough of the past
century, including the fund
ing discoveries that led to
the development of Tamox
ifen and Herceptin, and pro
moting the use of
mammography to screen for
breast cancer.
It is estimated that one out
of every eight women in the
United States will be diag
nosed with breast cancer dur
ing her lifetime, with 1
percent of men being diag
nosed with cancer.
The good news is that
death rates from breast can
cer have been steadily declin
ing over the past decade as a
result of both early detection
and improved treatment.
The American Cancer So
ciety offers free programs and
services in nearly every com
munity to help people who
are facing breast cancer.
Whether one needs help un
derstanding the disease, mak
ing treatment decisions,
dealing with day-to-day chal
lenges of living with cancer or
finding emotional support,
the American Cancer Society
offers its help.
To speak with a cancer in
formation specialist, call 1-
