Although much more common among women, breast cancer is a disease
that strikes men and women alike. And it is increasing:
Estimated New Cases in 2007 - 22,500
Estimated Resulting Deaths in 2007 - 5,400
One in nine Canadian women develop breast cancer. It is the leading
cause of death for women between the ages 35 and 54. |
