 INTRODUCTION

Worldwide, breast cancer is the fifth most common cause of cancer death. As we all
know, breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death. Breast cancer is a
malignant cell growth in the breast. Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the
most common type of cancer in women in the United States, accounting for one of every
three cancer diagnoses.

An estimated 211,240 new invasive cases of breast cancer were expected to occur among
women in the United States during 2005. About 1,690 new male cases of breast cancer
were expected in 2005. The incidence of breast cancer rises after age 40. The highest
incidence occurs in women over age 50.

In addition to invasive breast cancer, 58,590 new cases of breast cancer are expected to
occur among women during 2005. Of these, approximately 88% will be classified as
ductile carcinoma in situ (DCIS). The detection of DCIS cases is a direct result of the
increased use of mammography screening. This screening method is also responsible for
detection of invasive cancers, at a less advanced stage than might have occurred
otherwise.

For the information, breast cancer common in United States, Canada and the European
countries as it is in the United Kingdom. But in Far East, particularly Japan and also other
Latin American countries are rare detected. The causes of breast cancer stills remain a
mystery but a number of factor appear to have some influence. 4 out of 5 women with
breast cancer consult their doctor with symptom suggesting breast cancer.

There are some particular factors that put woman at higher risk of breast cancer such as
aging, genetic factor, ionizing radiation and etc. The symptoms of breast cancer are lump
in the breast, pain in the breast and nipple discharge. But today with the new technology,
there is a lot of treatment to avoid this cancer for instance radiotherapy, chemotherapy
and many kinds of treatment that available.
