I recently donated some money to breast cancer research. My grandmother, who died five years ago, survived breast cancer but I don't think anyone else in my family had it.
and about 42,000 women die. Men are susceptible too, though male breast cancer is very rare: each year about 2,400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer and 500 die. Early diagnosis is key to survival. Today someone diagnosed with breast...
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, accounting for about 270,000 cases a year. The average woman has about a 12% chance of developing breast cancer.
Life expectancy after curative-intent treatment of breast cancer: impact on long-term follow-up care. Am Surg 2014;80(6):604-9.Arrington AK, Goldstein L, Kruper L, Vito C, Yim J, Chen SL. Life expectancy after curative-intent treatment of breast cancer: impact on long-term follow-up ...
To estimate life expectancy, we matched these women to women of similar age, region, and insurance, not diagnosed with breast cancer. We examined 5-year mortality of matched controls by illness burden (measured with the Charlson Comorbidity Index [CCI]) using Kaplan-Meier statistics. We examined...
The estimated number of female breast cancer deaths averted because of the reduction in breast cancer death rates since 1989 was estimated by summing the differences between the expected and observed numbers of female breast cancer deaths for each year. The expected number of deaths if the breast ...
Cancer is one of the leading causes for death and reduced life expectancy worldwide with approximately 19.3 million new cases per year and almost 10.0 million fatalities each year. In other words, statistically, every fourth individual is expected to develop cancer throughout their lifetime. Unfortu...

Total and incremental life expectancy (LE) with each intervention strategy. Depending on the assumed penetrance of the BRCA mutation, compared with surveillance alone, 30-year-old early-stage breast cancer patients with BRCA mutations gain in LE 0.4 to 1.3 years from tamoxifen therapy, 0.2 to ...
For example, in Sweden the relative 5-year OS rates for all male and all female patients are 79.6 and 90.0%, respectively, while the corresponding relative 10-year OS rates are 67.1 and 83.5% (Cancerfonden, 2013). Furthermore, a clear trend toward increased survival rates for women with ...
