. Our Passion Fighting everyday for every life Because 10 million women around the world could die from breast cancer in the next 25 years, Susan G. Koman for the Cure® is fighting every minute to save every life. Because every woman is at risk for breast cancer-a disease that strikes at random and for which the causes and cures are still unknown-we know every moment counts: · 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will be diagnosed with breast cancer. The other seven will know her. · Breast cancer knows no boundaries, be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location · The key to survival is early detection. · Three simple steps for early detections are regular mammograms, clinical exams and breast self-exams. · It is important to make healthy lifestyle choices. · Breast cancer affects more than just the patient– co-survivors (friends and family) need support too. · Treatment for breast cancer usually includes a combination of surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and/ or hormonal therapy. |
