Comprehensive cancer control involves prevention, early detection, diagnosis and treatment, rehabilitation and palliative care.

Raising general public awareness on the breast cancer problem and the mechanisms to control as well as advocating for appropriate policies and programmes are key strategies of population-based breast cancer control. Many low- and middle-income countries face now a double burden of breast and cervical cancer which represent top cancer killers in women over 30 years old. These countries need to implement combined strategies that address both public health problems in an effective and efficient way.]]> 2018-02-15 23:16:29 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232189222 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232190114 Researchers around the world are working to find better ways to prevent, detect, and treat breast cancer, and to improve the quality of life of patients and survivors.

Some of the many active areas of research include:

Breast cancer causes
Causes and treatment of metastatic breast cancer
Reducing breast cancer risk
Managing ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)
New lab tests for breast cancer
New imaging tests for breast cancer
Breast cancer treatment
Supportive care
Breast cancer causes
Studies continue to uncover lifestyle factors and habits, as well as inherited genes, that affect breast cancer risk. Here are a few examples:

Several studies are looking at the effect of exercise, weight gain or loss, and diet on risk.
Studies on the best use of genetic testing for breast cancer mutations continue at a rapid pace.
Scientists are exploring how common gene variations (small changes in genes that are not as significant as mutations) may affect breast cancer risk. Gene variants typically have only a modest effect on risk, but when taken together they could possibly have a large impact.
Possible environmental causes of breast cancer have also received more attention in recent years. While much of the science on this topic is still in its earliest stages, this is an area of active research.]]> 2018-02-15 23:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232190114 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191104 One in eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer in her lifetime.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women.
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among women.
Each year it is estimated that over 252,710 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,500 will die.
Although breast cancer in men is rare, an estimated 2,470 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer and approximately 460 will die each year.
On average, every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer and 1 woman will die of breast cancer every 13 minutes.
Over 3.3 million breast cancer survivors are alive in the United States today. 
In the US, 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.
The most significant risk factors for breast cancer are being female and aging. About 95% of all breast cancers in the US occur in women 40 and older.
Getting a mammogram can help reduce the number of deaths from breast cancer by 30 to 40% among women ages 40 to 70. So make your mom a personalized card encouraging her to get one! Sign up for Momm-o-grams.
Breast cancer deaths have been declining since 1990 thanks to early detection, better screening, increased awareness, and new treatment options.
Each year it is estimated that over 220,000 women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer and more than 40,000 will die.]]> 2018-02-15 23:27:51 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191104 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191690 2018-02-15 23:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191690 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191929 2018-02-15 23:33:23 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232191929 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232192008 2018-02-15 23:34:06 UTC https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232192008 hcps_andrewsjm https://padlet.com/hcps_andrewsjm/3eiye2nbrm7h/wish/232192440 https://www.cancer.org/cancer/breast-cancer/about/whats-new-in-breast-cancer-research.html
