Living With Breast Cancer In the 21st Century

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Breast cancer (BCA) remains the most common cancer among American women. A woman has a 1 in 8 chance of developing invasive BCA during her life. However, only 1 in 35 women will ultimately die of the disease. The death rates from BCA have been declining due to earlier detection. This optimistic outlook reflects the years of research into better detection and treatment of this disease.
