KNOW THE FACTS

The American Cancer Society's estimates for breast cancer in women in the United States for 2014 are:

• About 232,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer.
• About 62,570 new cases of carcinoma in situ (CIS) of the breast will be found (CIS is non-invasive and is the earliest form of breast cancer).
• About 40,000 deaths from breast cancer.
• Cancer is the most common cancer among women in the United States, other than skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, after lung cancer.
