What is Cancer?What is Cancer? Cancer is a cellular disease Abnormal cell growth Cells grow out of control and forms
tumors If the tumor is within a gland, the
cancer is said to be localized If the cancer escapes the gland it is
called systemic spread Early detection before the cancer
escapes the gland is very important

DefinitionDefinition Breast cancer is the
uncontrollable growth and spread of abnormal cells in the breast
If not controlled, it can lead to death
An estimate 40,460 deaths will occur from female breast cancer in 2007
Only lung cancer accounts for more cancer in women.

Signs and SymptomsSigns and Symptoms The earliest sign is
an abnormality that shows up on a mammogram before it can be felt by the woman or health care provider.
Early stages of breast cancer usually do not produce symptoms.

Risk FactorsRisk Factors Age: The risk increases with age, but
25% of diagnoses are made under age 65.
Race: African-Americans have a rate of incidence double that of Caucasian men.
Family History of Prostate Cancer: Men with a family history have two-to-three fold increase in the risk of prostate cancer.
Diet: A diet high in saturated animal fat can double the risk of developing prostate cancer.
